As many as 50 students of the Thrissur medical college hospital in Kerala tested positive for coronavirus on Monday impacting the normal work of the hospital, said district medical authorities. Among the infected, 40 are MBBS students and 10 post-graduate students. Later students’ hostels were shut down.

 The medicos were on duty at Medical College hospital in two batches. All students of both batches have been quarantined and are under observation. Authorities have not yet decided whether to close the hostel. While on duty, the medical students had interacted with patients as well as by-standers, which means they may have given the virus to many people.

Meanwhile, A test drive was carried out at the college after an employee of a coffee house situated on the premises of the hospital died a couple of days ago due to Covid-19 complications. As feared, people turned out in large numbers as shops of all types opened for the first time after state-wide restrictions were imposed in view of the spike in the daily caseload as well as relatively high test positivity rate in the state.
