Deputy Commissioner S. Ashwathi said in Mandya on Thursday that the students will not be allowed to attend physical classes in schools that were reopened recently if their parents are not vaccinated. It is mandatory for the parents of the school and college-going children to get themselves vaccinated, she added. Speaking after reviewing the vaccination coverage in Mandya district, she said the teachers of both government as well as private schools and PU colleges can take physical classes only after producing the RT-PCR negative report and vaccination certificate. “Action can be taken against those teachers who fail to get immunised,” she warned. Amidst the fears of a third wave of COVID-19, as many as 54,700 doses of vaccines are expected to arrive in Mandya soon. Mandya urban and rural would get 7,000 doses and 7,700 doses respectively while Malavalli and Maddur would get 8,000 each. K.R. Pet and Nagamangala will get 6,000 doses each while 7,000 doses would be allotted to Pandavapura and 5,000 to Srirangapatna, she told the meeting.More Related News
