As per the guidelines, schools will have to get written consent from parents or guardians before calling the students. The guidelines also said that it won’t be mandatory for students to attend offline classes, and that classes will be regularly sanitised as per the necessary protocols and the schools’ administration will have to make arrangements for thermal scanning and masks and ensure that social distancing is practised.
