At least 85 teachers of various government schools of Delhi will be on duty from December 31 to January 15, the order said.
Government schools will remain closed in Delhi from January 1 to January 15 for winter vacation.
Delhi authorities on Monday began physically visiting all government hospitals here to ascertain their preparedness to deal with any eventuality in view of the surge in Covid cases in some countries.
