Bihar: Schools to reopen from 15 Nov, announces CM Nitish Kumar

Compulsory Covid test will be done for passengers coming from states with more cases of corona infection.

All eligible persons will be vaccinated. The rest of the earlier decisions will continue. Kumar also added that Covid precautions are still necessary.

This comes in the backdrop of declining Covid cases in the state with active cases now just over 50. The number of new virus cases in the state has been in the double digit for long time.

In the last week of August, the Bihar government eased more Covid restriction in the state and allowed opening of schools, colleges, malls etc.

Shop, malls, gardens and religious places were allowed to function normally.

Schools, colleges, educational institutions etc. were also reopened, while cinema, theatres swimming pools were permitted to operate with 50% capacity.

“In view of the improvement in the situation of corona infection, all shops, establishments, shopping malls, parks, gardens and religious places will be able to open normally,” Nitish Kumar had said.
