61 Students Test Positive In IIM-Calcutta's Worst COVID-19 Outbreak

IIM-C authorities said the situation is under control and steps have been taken to minimise the spread of COVID-19.

As many as 61 students at the prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta have tested positive for the coronavirus since April 2 and are currently in isolation on campus. Two buildings in which every single-occupancy room has an attached toilet have been earmarked for the students who started reporting symptoms since the end of March. Three doctors are in charge and the institute has tied up with top Kolkata hospitals for regular guidance on home care. More than 570 students have left the campus since the beginning of April. Some 335 are still on campus, including the 61 students in isolation.
