T'PURAM: The first-year MBBS students, in a letter, have requested the chancellor and vice-chancellor of Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) to postpone the first-year final exams scheduled to begin on February 2. This is in the wake of more students getting infected with Covid-19 and many college hostels becoming clusters.
"The data collected on January 23 sums to a total of 161 positive students across the state and five active clusters in as many colleges. More than that, many are symptomatic and are in quarantine," the letter said.
