Taking to Twitter, Dr. Murad clarified that no date has been finalized for the reopening of the schools.

What Dr. Murad intended to say was that schools will be reopened in Punjab from 15 August under strict SOPs only if the Coronavirus outbreak is contained.

Opening schools when the COVID-19 cases are rising is tantamount to risking the lives of students and staff.
