    Dear Sir /Madam, Regarding the Omicron fear,I would recommend the schools to conduct online classes till they face the Board exams.The reason is many students are not vaccinated because most of them are below 18 year old and many schools don't follow the protocol of the covid 19. Prevention is better than cure.As a parent I would not risk my child's life.Therefore ,kindly recommend online classes for all the kids in Karnataka.For Board Exams students MSQ pattern and internal marks should be recommended. Thanking you. With Regards, Dr.John Prasad.K
