Delhi continued to battle with air pollution for the 10th consecutive day post-Diwali as a dense layer of smog blanketed parts of the national capital on Sunday. Several parts of the national capital recorded very poor air quality levels on Sunday morning as per the data issued by the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR-India). Today morning, Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 351, Bawana 383, CRRI Mathura Road 323, Dwarka Sector 8 at 341, IGI Airport at 326, ITO 328, Lodhi Road 319, Mundka at 358, Najafgarh at 341, New Moti Bagh at 394, Okhla phase-2 at 339, RK Puram at 368, and Wazirpur at 366, as per SAFAR-India data. As of 5 pm on November 10, Delhi's AQI stood at 334, with Anand Vihar at 353, Dilshad Garden at 262, and Jahangirpuri at 377. For tomorrow, AQI in adjoining cities of Noida and Gurugram is forecasted to be at 208.92 and 77.51, respectively. Multiple visuals from Delhi's Kartavya Path showed the area surrounding India Gate engulfed by a layer of smog. The AQI in the area was recorded at 357 as of 7 am. High-rise buildings were also covered in smog in the Kalindi Kunj and surrounding locality, as the AQI was recorded as 323 in the area. An AQI is considered "poor" between '200 and 300', "very poor" at '301 and 400', "severe" at '401-450," and 450 and above is "severe plus." As the air pollution levels in the national capital reach "very poor," doctors say that even people with no history of respiratory diseases are suffering from breathing issues. Dr. Nikhil Modi, Senior Consultant for Respiratory Critical Care at Apollo Hospital, told ANI that apart from the regular patients, those who haven't had any respiratory issues in the past are showing up with symptoms such as runny noses, sneezing, coughing, and having increasing difficulties breathing. As it is, respiratory illnesses in the national capital are estimated to have shot up by around 15-20%. The Apollo doctor further suggested that the government close the schools for children as they remain vulnerable. Whenever the pollution levels have gone beyond a certain limit, the government has opted to close the schools, Dr. Modi said. "For the last few years, we have been seeing that the government has taken action. Whenever this pollution level has gone beyond a certain limit, they have opted to close the schools. This is important because children are from a vulnerable group. As adults, we are masked and can protect ourselves better, but children usually are not that effectively taking these measures. Secondly, their lungs are still in developing stages, so they are bound to have more harm due to this pollution," the doctor told ANI. Siddharth Singhal, Head of Health Insurance, Policybazaar.com, notes that while most standard health plans in India cover pollution-related ailments, it is always advised to also go for an OPD plan along with a health insurance plan to cover consultations, medications, and diagnostic tests that may be required frequently due to pollution. "Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR and some other parts of India have shot up post Diwali. Effects of this are very evident in the form of sore throats and breathing problems, among others. This can also result in respiratory ailments and chronic conditions like asthma, bronchitis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pneumonia, and severe cases of respiratory or bronchial obstruction. Health insurance becomes critical to cover such expenses. Most policies typically cover emergency hospitalization for respiratory issues like asthma or COPD exacerbations requiring ICU or critical care," he adds.

In September, India had reported the worst single-day spike of new COVID-19 cases at nearly 100,000. Over the past few days, India has been reporting less than 50,000 cases daily. With it, children across several states — Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Sikkim — have <a href="https://theprint.in/india/education/only-up-is-ready-to-reopen-schools-other-big-states-delay-move-until-october-end/514911/">been masking up</a> and returning to the classroom. However, some of the states and union territories (UTs),<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/delhi-schools-to-remain-closed-till-further-orders-manish-sisodia/articleshow/78907214.cms"> including New Delhi</a>, have decided not to re-open schools citing concerns for safety by parents. When the central government initially gave the go-ahead for schools to reopen, Uttar Pradesh was the only big state to consider a phased re-opening. Most of the states decided not to re-open schools amid the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s the status of schools across the country — The Indian government, while announcing the guidelines under Unlock 5.0, <a href="https://www.timesnownews.com/education/article/mha-retains-unlock-5-0-guidelines-permissions-on-reopening-schools-in-india-states-to-decide-soon/673813">permitted </a>schools to reopen. However, it left the final decision to state governments based on the on-ground situation. The Punjab government allowed both private and public schools to reopen from October 19 for the students of class 9,10, 11 and 12th. The schools in Punjab are permitted to open for three hours daily and are expected to strictly follow the standard operating procedure. Schools in Haryana’s Gurugram also reopened from October 15 in a graded manner. However, schools <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/gurugram/attendance-picks-up-but-space-concerns-persist-in-gurugram-schools/story-0uenlJaYnF9wA21bxRBL3L.html">reportedly</a> have difficulty finding the space to accommodate everyone and keep inline with social distancing norms. The Uttar Pradesh government also <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/news/story/schools-reopening-students-return-to-school-in-noida-after-seven-months-1733323-2020-10-20">allowed </a>private and public schools to reopen from October 15. According to reports, some of the largest private schools in Noida have been equipped with cameras to help parents monitor their children in real-time and allay any concerns. The Himachal Pradesh government <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/himachal-to-open-regular-school-for-classes-9-to-12-from-november-2/story-9JTqJXwYoHhEwSVggfEkiN.html">allowed </a>schools to reopen for the students of class 9 to class 12th from November 2. It also allowed colleges to resume classes. The Delhi government, on the other hand, decided not to open schools. According to Education Minister Manish Sisodiya, all schools shall remain closed till October 31 since parents are still concerned about safety. The West Bengal government has <a href="https://theprint.in/india/education/only-up-is-ready-to-reopen-schools-other-big-states-delay-move-until-october-end/514911/">delayed</a> the decision to re-open schools until after Diwali. Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh have also decided not to reopen schools amid COVID-19. Some of the states like Rajasthan are yet to decide on the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/rajasthan-schools-may-open-from-november-2-for-classes-10-to-12/articleshow/78885606.cms">reopening </a>of schools.
