Jawaharlal Nehru University has again issued an advisory to its students asking them to leave for their native places in order to avoid the campus turning into a super spreader. This comes after the university got 11 positive cases on Friday.
JNU registrar Anirban Chakraborti issued the notice, stating that JNU has had 322 cases in campus, with 64 patients at present. Five people have also passed away due to Covid.
In the advisory, the registrar stated that “the predicament of students and research scholars to pursue and complete the academic assignments is understandable. However, the library, hostel mess and eateries in the campus may become super spreaders. Health should be the top priority for all of us, particularly in the face of highly infectious virus with evolving mutants. There is no place better than home for getting a safe environment and, if required, for care for the unfortunate potential victims of the pandemic.”
On Thursday, JNU had announced a vaccination drive in the campus for four days for faculty and other staff members.
Following Delhi government guidelines, the varsity had on April 6 imposed a night curfew where all dhabas and canteens were asked to shut by 9pm.
