"Suppose some students are not able to appear for this examination, they would be given a chance to take the regular exam along with the supplementary chance being given to students who fail in the first attempt.
Students from other states would need to go on home quarantine for 14 days," he said. Separate seating arrangements would be made for students coming from containment zones and those from other states to take the examination.
"After attending each examination, students should take a bath before they come into close contact with their family members," he said. War rooms would function at general education directorate as well as the districts from May 23 onwards, the chief minister said.
Teachers who are on examination duty would wear gloves while everyone should be wearing masks. Answer papers would be kept at the respective centres for seven days. "As many as 5000 Infra-Red thermometers would be purchased.
