As per the SOP released on Friday, physical classes for students of Classes 9 and 10 standard classes will resume once a week from August 5, the official said.
Classes will be held twice a week for students of Classes 11 and 12, and virtual sessions will continue simultaneously, he said.
Class 11 students will attend school on Tuesdays and Fridays, while Class 12 students will convene at schools on Mondays and Thursdays, he said.
Students of Classes 9 will attend school on Saturdays and for those in Class 10, sessions will be held on Wednesdays, the official added.
According to the guidelines, student gatherings such as morning assemblies and swimming lessons are not permitted to prevent the viral spread.
