With 57 fresh COVID-19 infections within two days, the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) did not record any new cases since Sunday.

“The 57 officer trainees (OTs) who had tested positive of the virus are being treated at the Covid-19 care centre set up within the campus and are being regularly monitored. We have also set up a 24X7 control room within the campus,” Chopra told TOI. The official added that Covid-19 protocols are being strictly followed to ensure social distancing in the campus.

He further said that the additional health care staff has been deployed at the campus and all the necessary equipment has been arranged in sufficient quantities to deal with any emergency situation. “Only 33% of the staff has been asked to come to the academy and the entire campus is being disinfected. Also, the strictest norms of quarantine are being followed,” Chopra said.

It is worth mentioning that out of the 428 OTs who joined the academy for the 95th Foundation course on October 13, 33 tested Covid-19 positive on Friday while another 24 were found infected with the virus on Saturday. As the cases surfaced, the academy announced that the training of OTs would completely be conducted online till December 3.
