Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday dismissed questions on the reopening of schools in Delhi. He stated that there are no plans for the reopening of schools in the national capital for now.
"Like we are seeing trends internationally that there will be a third wave of Covid-19. So, until the vaccination process is complete we would not like to take risks with children. So there aren't any plans to reopen schools as of now," Kejriwal told reporters.
He was responding to a question about whether schools in Delhi will begin to reopen like in other states.
