Fearing the further worsening situation of corona crisis, the Health and Family Welfare Department, Sachivalay, Gandhinagar, has issued a notification, stating a complete shut down of the schools and colleges in whole state from March 16 to 29, for 14 days on 13th March,2020. However the school board examination will continue as planned before.
The state government, in the public notification, has invoked Epidemic Act-1897 for the current COVID-19 virus and ordered all the concerned educational institutes like school, college, tuition classes etc. to stay closed till March 29.
Following this notification, many universities have also issued notification declaring all the activities of the universities either suspended or postponed and also told students to remain home for this period of time. However, the teachers and other members are told to attend the colleges. For the time being, biometric attendance of the staff members will be replaced with manual attendance sheet due to touch spread issue of this fatal disease.
Meanwhile, it is important to note that coronavirus cases in India has reached almost at 100, and two fatalities have been so far confirmed.
The Union Government of India has already adopted prevention measures by enforcing mandatory screen testing for the passengers who come from abroad and setting up of quarantine centres.
Earlier other state governments too have declared emergencies in territories: Delhi government has banned IPL matches in Delhi; Kerala government has already declared holiday for the schools and colleges.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) had emerged from Wuhan city in China where the virus has claimed most lives approximately of more than 3,000 people. Italy and Spain also have death toll of more than a hundred and it is likely to increase further.
Although, India has registered only two fatalities, but looking at bulk of India’s population in comparison to the infrastructure and service facilities of nation’s hospitals, the fear of government is 100 % reasonable.
