HCMC Chairman Phan Van Mai Tuesday proposed the reopening of schools in “safer” areas of Hoc Mon and Cu Chi districts on the outskirts.

Several schools in the city’s Can Gio District have already opened classes for 1st, 2nd, 6th and 9th graders on a trial basis, Mai noted; and asked that Hoc Mon and Cu Chi districts should consider plans to let students return to school in communes with low and medium coronavirus risks.

"Outskirts communes would find it easier to do so than downtown wards, as teachers and students mostly stay within the same areas, and there would not be much traveling involved," he said.
