Bengaluru, Mar 6: The Karnataka government has directed school authorities to grant leave to students and staff suffering from cold or fever in the light of renewed coronavirus (COVID -19) fears.
"If any student, teacher of staff is suffering from respiratory infections, they should be granted leave. They should be allowed to come back to school only after confirming from the doctor that they are cured. In case of a student or staff staying at hostels developing any symptoms, they should be kept in a separate room," said the government circular.
Aiming at containing the spread of coronavirus, Sriramulu said, "We have formed 1,680 isolation wards in private hospitals. Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has apprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Health Minister of the situation."
However, the Health Minister said no positive case has been recorded till now in the state.

Major private hospitals in the city have geared up to treat suspected cases.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your
website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2
images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images
aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a
linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers
and both show the same results.
