IIT-Madras Closes Campus Temporarily After Witnessing 71 COVID Cases

As IIT-Madras witnessed 71 COVID-19 cases, including 66 students, since December 1, it has temporarily shut down its campus. Reportedly, the college mess has been cited as the major point from where the disease spread. A student said, "Mess is not a place where we wear our masks. So all of us were vulnerable." The students have been asked to stay in their room as packed food will be delivered to them there only.
