Shivamogga Deputy Commissioner R. Selvamani has instructed teachers and officers of the Department of Public Instructions to take measures necessary to avoid the spread of COVID-19 among schoolchildren.
The officer held a meeting with officials and representatives of educational institutes in Shivamogga on January 17. As the number of COVID-19 cases among students is increasing, school managements should screen students every day. Students’ body temperature should be recorded and those with Covid-19 symptoms should be sent back home. Attendance for students should not be compulsory, the DC said.
