Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has directed the Vice Chancellors and Principals of Universities to come up with reopening plans for their institutions. In the plan, the universities have been asked to develop prevention protocols to stem the spread of coronavirus as the government plans to reopen learning institutions in September. In the directive, the CS wants learning institutions used as quarantine centres to liaise with the Health ministry and prepare for transfer of patients to other identified facilities. The minimum requirements upon reopening have been outlined as clean running water and soap for hand washing or hand sanitiser. The universities may provide these at a subsidised rate to students and staff.” the statement reads.
