Ensuring pandemic protocol in hostels an uphill task for Cusat
For the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat), ensuring pandemic protocol in hostels is turning out to be a challenge.
The varsity has announced a break for the offline sessions that resumed on January 4 after nearly 15 students and 10 teaching and non-teaching staff had tested positive.
The postgraduate batches were asked to attend the classes initially.
“Their offline exams that began on January 6 got over on Wednesday. The lab sessions will resume in the first week of February. A disinfection process of classrooms and labs will be carried out as per the pandemic protocol before resuming the sessions again,” said K.N. Madhusoodanan, Vice Chancellor.
