COVID-19 Guidelines at Delhi University: What Every Student Must Know
As we continue to adapt to the post-pandemic world, Delhi University (DU) has taken crucial steps to ensure student and staff safety across all campuses. In light of recent health concerns, new COVID-19 safety guidelines have been reintroduced to maintain a healthy and secure academic environment.
At DuWaale, our mission is to keep the student community informed, empowered, and prepared. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest updates from DU.
Why These Guidelines Matter
While India has seen significant progress in managing COVID-19, crowded public spaces like university campuses still pose risks. With thousands of students returning for offline classes, exams, and campus activities, maintaining precautionary measures is more important than ever.
Key COVID-19 Guidelines by Delhi University
1. Masks are Mandatory
All students, faculty, and visitors must wear face masks at all times within the campus premises. This includes classrooms, corridors, libraries, canteens, and outdoor gatherings.
Pro Tip from DuWaale: Keep a spare mask in your backpack. And yes—cover both your nose and mouth!
2. Maintain Social Distancing
Classroom seating and campus spaces are being reorganized to ensure adequate distance between individuals. Avoid crowding during lunch hours, events, or group study sessions.
3. No Spitting on Campus
Strict actions will be taken against anyone found spitting in public areas, as it’s not only unhygienic but a serious health risk during a pandemic.
4. Frequent Hand Washing
Handwashing stations and sanitizer dispensers are installed across the campus. Students are encouraged to wash or sanitize hands after every activity involving contact (e.g., handling library books, opening doors, etc.).
How Students Can Contribute
While the administration is doing its part, it’s up to us—the student community—to lead responsibly. Here’s how you can make a difference:
- Carry your own sanitizer and tissues
- Inform peers about following protocols
- Avoid sharing food, bottles, or stationery
- Stay home if you feel unwell and inform the university health desk immediately

Stay informed. Stay safe.
