Health Secretary J Radhakrishnan pointed out that the cases were bound to increase as restrictions were eased and students returned to the campus. The health secretary also pointed out that many on the campus were on wearing masks while adding that continuous testing will help contain the spread.

Radhakrishnan said: District authorities have been emphasizing that this kind of spread is possible in other colleges, especially in hostels. Even here, there was a common mess. We have asked for this mess to be closed and prepared as a take-away option. When it comes to closed spaces, crowded spaces, and close contact we have to remain very careful.
