Making Sure that Campuses Are Safe as Canadian Students Return to School During the Pandemic

Since fall is just around the corner, Canadians have another issue to deal with amid the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several concerns over the recovery from this and the actions to be done on campuses before students return to school. These concerns are discussed so that there is more awareness about the protocols in universities. As a result, these institutions can prepare more for the coming semester.

One of the plans is to slowly transition students to face-to-face classes but with restrictions. Some students can attend a rotational schedule while the rest will attend their classes online. Some faculties of these universities have started to work to make recorded lectures. These lectures will be included in the online service.

The universities have been working hard to create effective strategies for the new semester. The campus events would be smaller, and residences and departments would have to adjust when these strategies are implemented. There would also be questionnaires for health screening, changes in access controls, and cashless transactions.
