“The second year students will be coming to school on the 24th of September. The first year students will also be coming on the 5th of October to complete their second semester of the 2019/2020 academic year. This will ensure that there is safety protocols in the lecture halls.”
Mr. Eshun indicated that certain protocols have been out into force to arrest the invasion of infected persons on campus, especially for students who reside in rented apartments and hostels.
“Controlling private hostels will be very difficult but we will ensure that we have a task force who will continually observe these protocols when they’re in their hostels. We will check the temperature and everything before they use the campus.”
