New Delhi: Schools in Delhi are unlikely to reopen till a vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease is available, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Thursday.

“There are no plans to open the schools as of now. A vaccine is likely to become available soon. Until we are completely sure about the situation being in control, schools are unlikely to open in Delhi,” the minister stated.

The fatality numbers have been around 100 each for the last 10 days
