Any college that violates public health norms will face action, warns Vijayabaskar
Collectors have been instructed to monitor colleges and hostels across the State, in the wake of a COVID-19 cluster at IIT-Madras, Health Minister C. Vijayabaskar said.
“The Health Secretary conducted inspections at IIT-M and Anna University. In Chennai, of the 8,000 samples lifted from colleges and hostels, the results of 210 have returned positive so far. Today, just one student tested positive. The situation has been brought under control. Any college that violates public health norms will face action,” he told reporters shortly after launching a few facilities at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH).
