Covid third wave in India is near, study report suggests possible timeline
Karnataka Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar on Monday said that the state board's Class 10 examinations will be held as per schedule on July 19 and 22, speaking on the sidelines of the Kabini Water Consultation meeting in Mysuru.
Kumar said that the state government has already released a Covid safety protocol to conduct these examinations safely and added that all the SOPs will be strictly enforced in all SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) examination centres.
"If any student is found with Covid symptoms, such students will be allowed to write the exams in a separate room. If a Covid-infected student wishes to take the examinations, then he or she will be allowed to appear for the examination at the nearby Covid Care Centre. So, we are taking every possible safety procedure to conduct these crucial examinations," the minister noted.
