The 3rd wave of the COVID-19 virus is looming in South Africa, with the Gauteng province showing a significant increase of positive cases. Belgium Campus iTversity would like to remind you to stay safe by continuing to adhere to the COVID-19 regulations under the current lockdown level. These include: Wearing an appropriate mask (covering mouth and nose) at all times. If you haven’t received a Belgium Campus face mask, please visit reception so that you can be issued one. Maintaining a physical distance of at least 1.5 metres, preferably 2 meters, between yourself and those around you. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas like the campus tuck shop. Completing daily pre-screening via the Belgium Campus Screening app (available on Google Play Store, Apple AppStore and Huawei AppGallery) before arriving on campus and following the instructions provided by the app. Completing daily on-campus screening at your designated screening zone. Essential things to do to prevent and limit the spread: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If neither soap nor water is available, use an alcohol-based sanitiser. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze with a flexed elbow or tissue, then throw the tissue in the bin. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. COVID-19 symptoms and flu symptoms are quite similar, so please take extra precaution and consult a doctor as soon as you develop symptoms. In addition to the above, we urge all students and staff to refrain from partaking in off-campus activities that could increase the risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus. We thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping yourselves and the campus safe. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further information/clarification.
