Vaccination Drive Amped Up In Delhi

Last Thursday was a significant day for Delhi, as the city recorded only 45 fresh cases. There had been no deaths, and this is a ray of hope after the second wave had hit the national capital. The positivity rate of the infection has been controlled at 0.06% as of now, and this might be taken as a red flag against the advent of the third wave. This means that the government of Delhi is prepared to battle against the effects of the virus even if it comes back strongly.

The capital of India has successfully vaccinated over 14,620,342 people. This is clearly a good sign for the schools and colleges to reopen.

Schools And Colleges To Reopen With Caution

Most of the schools are concerned about the fact that children are not yet vaccinated and that they might be easy targets for the virus. This risk can be reduced to a major extent if the school staff is completely vaccinated.
