Two staff of the Ringway campus of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) have tested positive for coronavirus compelling the journalism school to be closed down temporarily.
The temporarily closure of the school follows the confirmation of two of the unnamed staff whose test for COVID-19 returned positive.
Details about the situation which was dated on January 25, 2021 and signed by management, revealed that the Ringway Campus would be closed down from Monday, 25th to Friday, 29th January 2021.
The statement continued that the temporary closure is due to two members of staff testing positive for COVID-19, and added that work will resume on Monday, February 1, 2021 after fumigation of both the Ringway and North Dzorwulu campuses are complete.
“To ensure that academic work does not grind to a halt, the IT Directorate and Academic Affairs are particularly requested to migrate their work schedule online to provide support services to students. The Security Unit shall continue to operate at full capacity”, the statement remarked.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recently announced a directive on the resumption of schools during his national address. Prior to the announcement, schools closed across the country due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March 2020.
