25/11/2021 Update on COVID-19 Testing for Ashesi Community

After nearly two years of online teaching and learning, we are now on a path to return to in-person activity and somewhat regular campus operations in January 2022.

Vaccination requirement for a safe return to campus
For us to safely reopen in the coming semester, we are asking all members of our community to be vaccinated before January 2022. This is in line with guidance from all health authorities worldwide.

Weekly testing for any unvaccinated members of the community
Members of our community who cannot be vaccinated will be required to conduct weekly COVID-19 testing. The University will cover the cost of testing for employees who have medical exemptions. All others will bear the cost of weekly testing themselves.

Existing Safety Protocols Will Stay in Place
The University’s health team will continue to conduct periodic tests on random samples of the university community and will cover the cost of these tests. All our masking and social distancing protocols will also continue to remain in place.

As always, we count on your continued support to ensure the health and safety of our community.
