Dharamshala: Congress party requested the government of HP not to open the school in haste. Jitendra Sharma spokesperson Himachal Pradesh Congress Party said it in a press release. He said that the process of online education, which is being carried out in the state, should be continued at least for the month of May.
Sharma said that majority of scientists of the world are advising that at the moment Covid 19 could be avoided only through social distancing, and the link of carona transition can again be re-established if schools are opened in hurry by the government. He said that it will be impossible to follow social distance in schools. It will not be easy for the government, too, to monitor on a large scale and because of this, all efforts being made so far can be watered down.
“Testing the health of the students every day and the sanitation of schools shall become a big problem for the authorities if the schools re opens at this juncture when there is no vaccine available in the market. So putting children together in small rooms of the schools and then following all kinds of social distance in studying and during mid-day meals can bring many problems. With school opening, students must follow social distance during the other school activities too”, he said.
Sharma added that there could be another big problem, as it has been often seen that school buses, which are used to transport children, in which the children are generally overcrowded and in this time of Corona if the social distance is not followed, then the government have its fatal consequences.
