"Those in charge of the examination centre should follow the SOP," said Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar, as per the PTI report. 

According to the SOP, the examination hall including furniture, and toilets should be sanitized daily by spraying disinfectant solution before and after the examination.  In order to maintain the social distancing, only 12 students will be there in a single exam hall, and for each student, a desk will be allotted.

Each centre will ensure the availability of the thermal scanner, pulse oximeter, first aid boxes, and hand sanitizers at the entrance of the centre. Students will be provided with the masks at the entrance of the exam cenres.
