Infosys might move out 7,000 trainees from its Mysuru training centre in the next one week and resort to virtual training as a precaution against the coronavirus spread, according to a source.
As a precaution, the trainees are being sent back home, the source said, adding, “the training will happen through virtual classrooms.”
However, it is not clear if the trainees will join the workforce right after the training is complete as most employees who can, are currently working from home. The source said the company is currently weighing the options.
According to reports, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation will open five information centres and advance booking counters at the training centre to evacuate the trainees and transport them to different destinations.
“The evacuation process will be planned for one week starting from tomorrow by the KSRTC buses,” the reports added.
This move comes on the back of Karnataka’s government order to shut down places that witness a gathering of people including malls, cinema theatres and gym in Bengaluru.
