Students deplore varsity’s decision to go ahead with exams
Ernakulam district has recorded nearly 22 college-based COVID-19 clusters as on Friday.
The spike in the number of such clusters is likely to continue as the government has not yet decided to suspend offline classes. Hostels on campuses figure in the nearly 22 college-based clusters in the district, according to official estimates.
V. Jayasree, District Medical Officer, said the heads of institutions can take a decision on whether to stop academic and hostel services based on the assessment of the caseload. Those tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 could be sent home and follow-up measures should be taken to ensure the quarantine of others and compliance with health protocols, she said.
