Classes resume as COVID cases dip

Schools told to strictly follow pandemic protocol

Offline classes resumed in colleges and for Classes 10 to 12 in schools here on Monday amidst hopes that the situation may turn normal as earlier in view of the declining COVID-19 case graph in Ernakulam.

Students returned to their schools in the morning and classes continued up to 4 p.m. as the authorities had decided to return to the schedule followed in the normal times. However, teachers and the non-teaching staff had taken extra care to stick to the pandemic protocol and guidelines issued by the Health department.

Honey G. Alexander, Deputy Director of Education, Ernakulam, said that the attendance was satisfactory on Monday. The exact figures were being collated. The offline sessions for students in Classes 1 to 9 would resume on February 14, she said.
