The State Government of Tami Nadu, on Sunday (1st November), issued a government order permitting the reopening of colleges and other educational institutions like coaching centres across Tamil Nadu from 16th November. These institutions will be permitted to operate in line with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) issued by the state government.
The educational institutions in Tamil Nadu have been shut since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and several college and college hostel buildings were converted into COVID care centres and quarantine facilities due to the high number of coronavirus cases in the state. Now that the caseload is significantly lower than what it was previously, it is expected that several of these facilities will be handed over to the authorities concerned by the district administrations.
