A surge in numbers could not be ruled out, say the doctors.Sushil Gupta, president of the Association of Progressive Schools of Agra (APSA) has asked the administration to clarify whether students from the containment zones would be permitted to go to the schools, School managements have said that in the event of any child found Covid positive, they would not be held responsible.A survey conducted recently concluded that a majority of parents of primary level school children are not in favour of reopening of schools.The medical practitioners in the city pointed out that a large number of senior citizens were getting infected from youngsters who are now moving out for work or for socialising.
