Madurai Medical College reopens for offline classes
Madurai: Along with most of the medical colleges in the state, Madurai Medical College (MMC) has reopened its campus for offline classes on Monday.
The authorities have started the on-campus classes again while ensuring Covid-19 safety precautions on the campus. The medical students attended online classes for months before the gates of the medical college finally reopened on Monday.
Dean of MMC Dr A Rathinavel said that the medical college followed the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the State government to ensure the safety of the medicos and the college staff.
"All students have to produce negative RT-PCR test reports while joining. For those who have not taken the test, we ensure their negativity first. Masks and sanitizers have been made mandatory. Further, crowding in any area is banned. We have also discussed and instructed faculty members on how the classes will be divided and organized," Dr V Dhanalakshmi, vice-principal told Times of India.
