Advocates for school reopening were disappointed by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority’s decision to defer discussion on the matter, a day after Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia publicly stated his support for the same.

On Wednesday, Sisodia had met with a delegation of parents who had submitted a memorandum requesting that schools and anganwadi centres be the first to reopen as and when Delhi begins lifting its current set of Covid restrictions. After this meeting, he had said the government would recommend reopening of schools in Thursday’s DDMA meeting.

From tracing Covid positive patients, monitoring those under home isolation, being deployed at containment zones, to making sure protocol is followed in public places — Delhi’s civil defence volunteers (CDVs) have been on the ground since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020.

According to officials, around 22,000 CDVs are deployed on Covid duty across the 11 districts. Of these, about 1,400 are on enforcement duty. As of Thursday, there are more than 42,388 containment zones in Delhi and about 26,812 patients under home isolation, 145 in Covid care centres, 21 in health centres.
