After a drop in the number of daily COVID-19 cases, Punjab’s Medical Education and Research Minister OP Soni on Tuesday said that physical classes for various streams in medicines in the state would resume from June 28. Soni said this decision has been taken after a comprehensive deliberation with concerned stakeholders and health experts.
