University of Ghana campus
The University of Ghana has removed the ban on social meetings after COVID-19 cases on campus significantly decreased.
The University declared in a statement issued by the Office of Student Affairs on Monday, July 14, that the prohibition, which had been in place since Thursday, June 26, had been formally rescinded with immediate effect.
According to the statement the decision was made after consulting with the university’s management and health services.
“The Office of Student Affairs, in consultation with the University Health Services and University Management, wishes to inform the entire university community that the restriction on social gatherings on the University of Ghana campus due to the resurgence of COVID-19 has been lifted with immediate effect,” the statement said.
The first restriction was one of several emergency measures put in place following a reported increase in COVID-19 infections on campus. It had an impact on events and activities planned by departments, halls, student organizations, and religious associations.
Now that the prohibition has been lifted, student organizations such as the SRC, GRASAG, JCRs, religious organizations, and departmental or school associations are allowed to resume their weekly celebrations and activities.
But the statement emphasized the necessity of continuing to follow health precautions.
