Coronavirus: Reopen primary schools, suggests ICMR

The government on Tuesday favoured the reopening of primary schools over secondary schools, and also emphasised that all staff should be vaccinated against Covid-19. "Once India starts considering, it will be wise to open primary schools first before opening secondary schools. All the support staff whether it be school bus drivers, teachers & other staff in the school need to be vaccinated," ICMR DG Dr Balram Bhargava said at a press conference today.
