Director of New Delhi: All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Randeep Guleria on Friday said schools located in areas where low covid peposititives can be reopened.
He suggested that the reopening of the school that was considered can be done with the right monitoring of the area where the level of the peposititivity was low.
“I think we have to balance everything.
There are a number of children who skip school for a very long time because they don’t have advantages to a computer and therefore they cannot get the quality of education.
Therefore, having an important physical class is not only important school.
The educational point of view, but to build children’s character for social interaction, for interaction with peers, physical schools have a far greater role to play than what can be done.
Virtual class, “said Dr.
Guleria.
“Now, we are in a situation where certain parts of the country, the number of cases is very low, the level of pepositives is very low and hospitalized is very low,” he said.
Talking about the improvement of the school that was assessed, Dr.
Guleria said, “We must start thinking about opening schools in areas.
In areas where low-level leading levels can be made.” “We can do it in an alternative way so that the crowd is lacking.
We can do supervision; children can be monitored.
If they have symptoms they can stay at home.
If the level of progress continues to be a low school can continue, if it rises, the school can be closed, “Chief AIIMS said.
Regarding the Delta variant, Dr.
Guleria said, “We need more data as far as Delta Plus is a problem.
Delta Plus is still a lineage from the Delta variant so that there are no different variants, and current data does not say it is more contagious because Delta Plus was reported to have not seen a large surge in the number of cases.
Also the data did not suggest that it caused more inpatient care.
I don’t think it causes more diseases and we need to monitor more meetings.
“
