Produce Negative RT-PCR Results for exams, it says
The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court on Saturday refused to grant interim relief to approximately 44,000 medical students across the country who are to appear physically for the examinations held by the Maharashtra University of Health Science’s (MUHS) on June 10. A single bench of justice Avinash Gharote said, “Every examinee should have himself tested for COVID-19 and produce a negative report along with his hall ticket. As a safety measure, it would be advisable for each examinee to have conducted an RT-PCR test upon himself and only in case, he finds such a test is negative, he may sit for the examinations.” “The MUHS, therefore, is directed to issue an advisory to the principals of various colleges and also to publish on its website indicating that it would be desirable that each examinee should have himself tested for COVID-19 and should produce a negative report along with his hall ticket on June 10. In case, an examinee does not have such a certificate, he should be permitted to enter the exam but should also be asked to get an RT-PCR test conducted upon himself and produce a report in that regard on the next date of the examination. Needless to say if the report is found positive, the examinee would not be in a position to take the examination”, the court said.More Related News
