Teachers Travelling Across Delhi & NCR Schools May Increase The Corona Virus Cases.

Teachers with cold, cough, and flu — which might be indicators of Covid — were also reporting to work.
Calling all teaches to school was not needed when their duties could be fulfilled remotely. Children are not coming to school. In their absence, teachers will be largely idle at work and are bound to interact with each other. People are also travelling from Delhi and other areas which increases the risk of transmission.
There was no logic behind calling teachers to school on a daily basis, when most of the learning had shifted online of the work that we do at school can be done remotely. With coronavirus cases reaching schools, fear and anxiety are growing among members of the teaching community, who have been reporting to work regularly since the first week of July. Most teachers said that expecting teachers to report to work didn’t make much sense since children were not coming to school and online classes were already being conducted from home without any hindrances.
Some teachers were travelling from other districts and even from neighbouring cities, such as Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurgaon to report to work. Many teachers come from places as far as Rewari and Delhi. While there is a risk of transmission, they are also facing an additional financial burden of transportation. Most of them are spending five times the normal costs due to the lack of public transport.
