If the parents have not taken the vaccine, it can cause infection to the children" he said. Further, he encouraged the government's decision to not shut schools anymore and said that people need to follow safety guidelines to protect themselves against infection. "The school have been closed for almost two years now, it cannot be closed anymore.
Children's academic program is also very much important. All we need to do is follow the rules. If Covid preventive measures and guidelines are followed in schools properly and children wear masks, then there will definitely be infection control," said Kumar.
