Delhi University (DU) has issued a notification stating that biometric attendance for its staff members will now resume. Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the varsity had discontinued the biometric attendance system last year in March.
The notification issued by DU registrar Vikas Gupta asked officials to ensure that “sanitisers are mandatorily placed beside machines and all employees sanitise their hands before and after marking of attendance. Physical distancing of six feet must be maintained by all employees while marking their attendance.” “If required, additional biometric attendance machines may be installed to avoid overcrowding,” the notification said.
According to university officials, the biometric stations are to be placed in an outside or open air environment. “If indoor, adequate natural ventilation must be maintained and all departments and offices shall undertake orientation of the employees on precautions to be followed,” officials said.
