Chhattisgarh reopens government schools
The Chhattisgarh government has issued a notification allowing the reopening of schools in the state with 50% attendance. This decision was taken during a cabinet meeting, which was chaired by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The government also permitted private schools to reopen their doors, as long as the COVID-19 positivity rate in the last seven days is at least 1%.
About 260 government schools in the Naxal-affected Bastar region will reopen on June 16. The closure of government schools in the region forced the state to shut them down for over 15 years. The Chhattisgarh government will formally announce the reopening of the schools on June 16, the day Shala Pravesh Utsav. On June 16, Bhupesh Baghel will make a public announcement on the matter.
In the other districts, the state government has decided to reopen government schools and institutes. In the districts with the lowest Covid-19 positivity, schools will open on a limited basis. The remaining schools will hold offline classes on alternate days, but students with symptoms of the illness will be excluded from attending them. Students should maintain a social distance while in campus. These decisions may lead to further outbreaks of the virus.
England break world record for highest ODI total
England have broken the world record for the highest ODI total in a game. The hosts thrashed Pakistan by 169 runs in Amstelveen on Friday. The innings was dominated by Jos Buttler's 162 runs off 70 balls, which included seven boundaries and 14 sixes. Earlier, England had reached 491 runs for six against Australia at Trent Bridge in 2007. However, Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan added another fifty and a century respectively.
Phil Salt, the captain, played a memorable innings in the first match. He scored 122 off 93 balls, including 14 fours and a six. Dawid Malan followed suit, scoring 125 off 109 balls. The batting conditions were perfect and the pair took advantage of the favourable conditions to score such a massive total. Both Malan and Buttler have now reached century status across all three formats.
USA approves COVID-19 vaccine for children as young as 6 months
The United States has approved the COVID-19 vaccine for infants as young as six months. The move came just days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a former political rival of President Biden, said the vaccine is a vital part of a child's development. Earlier this week, the Food and Drug Administration approved two new COVID-19 vaccines for very young children. In addition to the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention backed the vaccine panel's recommendation.
The vaccines have a high safety profile and have already received national approval. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners have both endorsed them. Both vaccines contain the same type of virus, but the doses and time frame for each differ. As such, parents of young children will face a difficult time deciding which to use. However, they may feel more comfortable bringing their children to a doctor for vaccination.
