PremiumGovernment and private schools across Haryana will re-open from 14 December, the Directorate School Education said in a circular on Thursday.
Physical classes for the students of classes 10 and 12 will take place daily for 3 hours (10:00 am-1:00 pm), following the Covid-19 norms, the state government has informed.
"It has been decided that students of Classes 10 and 12 will be allowed to attend their government or private schools from December 14 for three hours daily -- between 10 AM to 1 PM," the circular read.
Classes for senior schoolchildren, including grades 9 and 11, will commence from 21 December, it added.
The Haryana government also said that the students will have to produce medical certificates not older than 72 hours to attend classes.
Physical classes were banned since March this year by the Modi government to curb the spread of Covid-19 among students.
Schools and colleges have been taking online classes since March.
However, a few weeks ago, govt allowed states to decide if they wanted to resume physical classes.
Many states did not resume physical classes because of a sudden spike in the numbers of fresh coronavirus cases.
This comes as 26 more people succumbed to the Covid-19 virus in Haryana, taking the total death toll to 2,650 on Wednesday, while 1,400 fresh cases pushed the state's infection tally to 2,48,079.
The new fatalities included eight from Faridabad, five from Hisar and three each from Gurugram and Jhajjar, the state health department's daily bulletin said.
Among the districts which reported a big spike in new coronavirus cases included Gurugram (436) and Faridabad (218).
Haryana has an active coronavirus case count of 11,733 and a recovery rate of 94.20%, according to the bulletin.
