Jadavpur University has announced that all sections, departments and schools will remain open for only two or three days a week with skeleton staff because of the surge in Covid-19 cases.
A notice issued by registrar Snehamanju Basu on Tuesday said the offices would remain open for “preferably two days” and “maximum three days”.
The offices had reopened in accordance with the Centre’s unlock guidelines and non-teaching employees were asked to report for duty five days a week.
A section of teachers was visiting the campus regularly so they could use the virtual classroom facilities to conduct classes on digital platforms. As a result, the administrative staff attached to the departments had to attend office, too.
Jadavpur University has decided to keep the campus close on April 16 to undertake sanitisation following reports of Covid-19 cases at the institution.
Registrar Snehamanju Basu issued a notice announcing the closure after a number of officials, non-teaching employees and research scholars tested positive.
“After the sanitisation drive, the situation will be assessed over the weekend and a decision will be taken on whether the closure needs to be extended,” Basu said.
The university had earlier shut down various offices for a few days for sanitisation. “But a surge in cases has prompted the university to sanitise the entire campus,” said a JU official.
