Ruhuna University Agriculture Faculty shifts classes online amid viral fever

The University of Ruhuna has decided to conduct academic activities online for students of the Faculty of Agriculture, with the exception of final-year students, due to the spread of a viral fever.

Reports indicate that approximately 30 second- and third-year students have contracted the viral illness over the past two weeks.

The university administration said the decision was taken as a precautionary measure to prevent the further spread of the illness among students.

The online learning arrangement will remain in effect until this Friday, according to the university administration.
