Child Covid-19 hospitalizations reach a new high as schools reopen. That's not the only reason to protect kids from Delta, doctors say Doctors say keeping kids Covid-free is critical to keep in-person learning, prevent long-term complications and help stave off more aggressive variants for everyone.

UP schools have been reopened for Classes 9 to 12 from August 16 and for Classes 6 to 8 from August 23.

The school managements have now decided to reopen school for nursery, but we parents are still apprehensive over sending our children after an increase in the cases and fear of a third possible Covid-19 wave.

Our concerns are genuine due to the fact of mysterious fever that is claiming lives in some districts in the state.

It is inappropriate to expect that children of age under 5 years will follow Covid protocols in school and class. They will study and play in close proximity and rip off the mask. The only solution is to keep children home and they can learn online. We urge the state government to please make it mandatory for school managements to provide for optional online classes.

Education is something every person should strive to obtain. It sets a higher standard for yourself, and gives yourself a much more respectable outlook from others. The opportunity to expand your knowledge and skillsets in a set direction to reach a set goal is not something everyone has the chance to do. With that said, taking advantage of receiving an education is a crucial opportunity that should not be missed. But not at the cost of life itself.
