The Hanoi Municipal People's Committee agreed in principle on a proposal by the municipal Department of Education and Training dated February 9 on allowing students from grades 1 to 6 in the urban districts to return to school after a long time of online learning to prevent COVID-19, while preschool children will still stay at home.
In detail, the Hanoi Municipal Department of Education and Training was ordered to coordinate with the city’s Department of Health to continuously guide the People's Committees of the districts to implement the plan in accordance with the government and city's instructions, ensuring absolute safety for students when they return to school.
In principle, face-to-face classes will be organised in areas where the pandemic risk is at levels 1 and 2. Meanwhile, students residing in areas with the pandemic risk at levels 3 and 4, and those being F0 and F1 cases, will continue online learning.
Notably, students are required to bring their own drinking water and the schools.
The Steering Committees for COVID-19 Prevention and Control of the districts are responsible for approving plans of educational establishments to welcome students back as well as pandemic prevention and control in their localities.
