It was conveyed that not all students will be called to schools on the same day. Students of each class will be divided into two groups. Children who come to school one day will be off the next day.
The minister has requested school owners to provide feedback by August 25. On August 11, the Punjab government issued SOPs for opening schools. The long list of guidelines includes basic principles, health awareness, and hygiene.
