Colleges and universities in Gujarat have now decided to call faculty and other staff members once every three days to campus for office work.

On other days they can switch to work from home, said a Gujarat University official aware of the development.

The state government had recently directed all colleges and universities to work with 50% staff on campus due to the worsening Covid-19 situation in the state.

“Many colleges in the state decided to call half the staff on alternate days with the other half working from home,” the official said.

He added, “This has however raised concerns about the people being infected with Covid-19 as many employees would be asymptomatic and it would take a couple of days to know that they are Covid positive.”

The risk of spreading Covid-19 is higher if employees are to visit workplace every alternate day as compared to calling them once in three days, said the official.
