Medical, dental colleges to reopen
The Hindu
Only those who have taken at least one dose of the vaccine will be permitted to attend
The State government has granted permission to medical and dental colleges and other academic institutions in the health and medical sector to resume classes on campus. Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science (RGUHS) on Friday announced that colleges will be asked to reopen on Monday. However, only students, teaching and non-teaching staff who have taken at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be permitted to attend offline classes. Colleges have been closed since March during the onset of the second wave of COVID-19. While they were allowed to hold online classes, students faced the same problem that they did last year during the lockdown. They pointed out that online classes were not effective as they were unable to grasp concepts without practical exposure.
