This move comes in response to directives from State-level authorities, prompted by growing apprehension nationwide following four reported COVID-19-related fatalities in Kerala on December 17. The incidents have heightened concerns regarding a potential surge in infections.

In response, the Director of Medical Education (DME) urged all superintendents and principals to promptly alert the government of any surges in influenza-like illnesses, the official sources said.
