Education CS George Magoha has okayed the resumption of face-face learning for medical students. In a letter addressed to Vice-Chancellors across universities, Magoha said the move is in light of the COVID-19 situation which has precipitated an urgent need to train and assess medical students. "Consideration has been given to the request for face-to-face learning and assessment of medical students. The decision of home-based care or hospital management must be in accordance with the Ministry of Health guidelines and protocols," Magoha said. Magoha said failure to adhere to the relevant Ministry of Health guidelines and protocols on COVID-19 shall trigger immediate closure.
