From 21st Sept onwards, teachers and non-teaching staff of the schools have been allowed to visit the school premises with upto 50% of strength. However, during the partial reopening of schools from 21st Sept, only doubt solving sessions will be held by teachers and no regular classes will be held for students.

Moreover, teachers will also have to undergo COVID-19 tests before the partial reopening of schools. In addition to this, teachers are advised to download the Aarogya Setu App on their mobile phones. This is, again, not mandatory and private schools may continue to remain closed, should they so desire.
