The Ha Noi municipal People’s Committee issued Document 976/UBND-KGVX which agrees with a proposal by the municipal Department of Education and Training on physical study resumption. Kindergarteners still stay at home.

A survey conducted by the department on April 2-3 showed that more than 75% of parents of first to sixth graders agree to send their children to school.

Earlier, since mid-2021, over 2.2 million kindergarteners and students of Ha Noi have had to stay home due to impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the first three weeks of February, students from first to sixth grades in Hanoi’s outskirts were allowed to attend school but they had to return to remote learning on February 18 as the Covid-19 situation worsened across the city.

As of April 4, Ha Noi has recorded nearly 1.5 million confirmed Covid-19 cases since   April last year, when the fourth coronavirus wave hit the city. For the past 20 days, the number of daily confirmed cases in the city has dropped by 7% against the previous two weeks./.
