Sawant was replying to a calling attention notice tabled by Opposition members, who stated that there is fear and anxiety in the minds of students and parents across Goa for non-availability of infrastructure for internet connectivity to attend online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic and
urged the government to resolve the connectivity issue.
The CM said that the government has requested the Centre to reduce the gap between two doses of COVID-19 vaccine for teachers and non-teaching staff. Once teachers and staff are fully vaccinated then it will help to decide when to commence classes physically.
