Three major educational institutions in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar reported minor clusters of COVID-19 among students even though Gujarat reported a new high of 665 fresh COVID-19 cases on Wednesday.

This is the first time the state’s daily Covid cases have surpassed 600 since July 1, when Gujarat reported 632 new cases.

 In the past couple of days, Covid was reported from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A), Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGn), and the GMERS Medical College and Hospital (MCH), Gandhinagar. IIMA officials said the institute reported 10 cases in two days, including six on July 5 and four on July 6. The institute’s Covid dashboard showed that all samples tested each day were positive.

A total of 11 people are under quarantine as of July 6 in IIMA. The institute has reported 931 Covid cases since September 1, 2020, including 429 students.

“The Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) is testing all the people who came in touch with these students. We have opened a ward on the sixth floor of the hospital for emergencies and have started a fever OPD as well,” said Dr Gupta.

The students who tested positive had attended a freshers party on Saturday. At least 14 cases of Covid have been reported by IITGN in the last three days, according to Dr. Kalpesh Goswami, Medical Officer of Health (MoH) at GMC.
