Hà Nội grade 1-6 students return to online learning
HÀ NỘI — Students from the first to sixth grades in the 一 八 suburban districts and town of Hà Nội return to online learning from February 二 八 as part of local efforts to curb COVID- 一 九.
The Hà Nội People’s Co妹妹ittee made the decision on February 二 七 based on the Department of Education and Training proposal.
The move was prompted by a surge in the rising number of new infections in the co妹妹unity, including in schools, the fact that students of these grades are yet to be vaccinated against COVID- 一 九, and parental concerns.
The municipal People’s Co妹妹ittee also assigned the district-level administrations to base decisions on the COVID- 一 九 situation in their localities and for proposals by local educational establishments to flexibly switch between in-person and online learning to ensure the safety of students and teachers.
Students from the first to sixth grades in the 一 八 suburban districts and town of Hà Nội resumed in-person learning on February 一0. Meanwhile, schools remain shut for those in urban districts.
The capital is expected to see the peak of the current COVID- 一 九 surge in the middle of March, according to Chairman of the Hà Nội People’s Co妹妹ittee Chu Ngọc Anh.
The situation is complicated in Hà Nội as more than 一0,000 new patients have been reported daily, and 七 六 co妹妹unes and wards ( 一 二. 八 per cent of the total) have had their risk levels raised to Level 三 (high risk).
However, 九 六 per cent of the patients are mild cases that express no symptoms, and 九 五 per cent are being treated at home. — VNS
