Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday requested parents to refrain from sending children showing symptoms of fever, cold, or flu, to schools and colleges.
He also directed educational institutions to take strict measures to monitor student health and ensure that symptomatic children are sent home to prevent the spread of the infection.
The request came during a review meeting chaired by the CM at his residence, where he assessed Karnataka's preparedness to deal with a potential surge in Covid-19 cases.
Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil, and heads of the Covid task force attended the meeting.
