Coronavirus Scare: RU suspends public events
Rajshahi University (RU) yesterday decided to suspend all public events on campus following the first reported cases of coronavirus in the country.
The university authorities also circulated a list of directives to raise awareness on the virus among students.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the university's Mujib Borsho celebration committee.
All major events on March 17 -- marking Bangabandhu's birth centenary -- were also postponed, said Prof Malay Bhowmick, a member of the committee.
The decision created mixed reactions among students, who argued that students come in close contact with each other anyway, in classes, dorms and at other areas on campus.
RU Proctor Lutfor Rahman said, "We are trying to ensure maximum safety measures on campus from our side."
