Universities take precautions amid reopening


Safety first: The APU safety ambassadors are seen guiding students in practising the requisite social distancing in addition to other measures.

PETALING JAYA: As higher education institutions (HEIs) once again welcome their students and staff back to campus, they are taking precautionary measures to prepare for the reopening after months of closure to curb the Covid-19 contagion.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia deputy vice-chancellor (student affairs) Prof Datuk Dr Othman A. Karim said when students arrive at the campus, they would have to report at a specified drive-through station where necessary documents would be verified, such as their health declaration form and double dose vaccination certificate.
