New Delhi: The Delhi government has called a meeting on March 26 to discuss measures that can be taken if need arises to keep schools closed after March 31 in view of coronavirus outbreak.

"As per the current plan, schools are likely to reopen on April 1 and resume normal teaching and learning in new academic session if situation becomes normal. However, incase we need to close schools further, we need to have an alternate plan so that academic loss of students can be minimised," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said in an official order.
