A student of Panjab University who had returned from Italy recently has been put under home quarantine.
Prof Raj Kumar, PU Vice Chancellor has constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Shankarji Jha, Dean University Instructions to monitor the case of the student, who is pursuing MBA(EP), 2nd Semester from University Business School. He is the resident of Panchkula.
More than 10,000 people in Italy have been infected with Coronavirus — the most in any country outside of China, where the virus originated.
“The case of PU students has been discussed in detail and it was informed that the said student who returned from Italy was sent immediately to PGIMER on March 9 for the relevant check up. The student came back and informed that due to lack of evident symptoms, PGIMER sent him back without any check up,” said a PU spokesperson.
