Assam schools to resume physical classes from February 15, says CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made the announcement that the state government is planning to reopen schools from February 15, 2022. 

Apart from this, he will also announce the relaxations in curfew timings within the next few days after witnessing the drop in the cases of the Covid-19 situation.

“Most likely, the schools might reopen from February 15,” Sarma said. He said that nearly



nine lakh children in the age group of 15-18 years have been vaccinated so far, but “it will be easier to inoculate children if schools are open”.

At present, for Class 9 and above, physical classes are allowed on alternate days in all districts. “We are progressing in the right direction (on the overall vaccination exercise), and expect to complete administering both doses to the beneficiaries by February 28,” Sarma said.
