All the centers will be sanitized by 21 June for the Uttarakhand Board examination to be held from 22 June. All BYOs must submit an affidavit to sanitize the examination centers at the CEO's office. While taking the online meeting of officers on Friday, Chief Education Officer Asharani Panuli gave its instructions. He said that all the students and personnel in the examination must wear a mask or face shield. Thermal scanning of all students and staff will be done at the main gate. If the temperature of a person is found high, then he will be immediately released and the duty of other personnel will be imposed. If the temperature of a student is found high, then the exam will be done by sitting in a separate room. He said that children will be seated in each room following social distancing. If there is not enough room for the children to sit, then the examination of the nearest primary, upper primary or secondary school will be acquired.

In the addition of additional rooms, instead of two, the duty of one teacher can be imposed in each room. He said that the students of the Containment Zone will be tested later. All center administrators will have to send the details of such students to the CEO office through BEO. DEO Secondary Yashwant Singh Chaudhary and Basic Rajendra Singh Rawat were also present in the meeting while the High Court, after hearing a PIL, has directed the state government that all the remaining examination centers (school building, chairs- desk, toilet, water filter etc.) should be completely sanitized before the remaining examinations of the board begin. The case was heard by video conferencing before the bench of Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Ravindra Maithani. Advocate Dushyant Mainali, Haridwar resident Sachchidanand Dabral and others had filed a PIL in the High Court, saying that the state government was going to get the remaining papers of the board from June 23 to June 25.

The centers where the examinations are being conducted are made by the government. These centers have not been fully sanitized. There is a risk of spreading the virus in the students. The petitioners had demanded cancellation of the proposed examinations. Advocate Dushyant Mainali had earlier filed a PIL in the High Court, stating that the state government and the central government were indifferent to the safety of medical personnel to avoid the coronavirus. The equipment given to medical personnel are not in conformity with the standards, and their quality is low. Sachidanand Dabral, a resident of Haridwar, had filed a PIL and said that the state government is bringing back the migrants of the state to Uttarakhand, but they are not being investigated on the border nor their food and drink on the border. Proper arrangements have been made.
