Mangaluru, Apr 4: Against the backdrop of the resurgence of Covid-19 cases in the city, students of St Agnes College (Autonomous) held an awareness drive on its campus on Saturday. Altogether 71 students under the banner of the Agnes Towards Community (ATC) initiative, depicted the COVID-19 virus in graphic masks and costumes.
