In light of the new COVID-19 restrictions that were announced yesterday in order to combat the recent spike in cases, on behalf of GUG and all Gozitan students, we would like to insist and urge all educational institutions to carry out all lectures in a remote manner and only necessary lectures which require the use of labs are to be carried out physically. Whilst it is unsafe to spend hours in a closed classroom with people coming from various households, it is even more unsafe for Gozitan students who have to commute all the way from Gozo to attend to physical lectures, increasing the risk of encountering even more people. Since firms are being encouraged to resort to teleworking, educational institutions must follow the same lines and resort to online learning given the circumstances at this particular moment in time.
In these unprecedented times, it is crucial that the safety of everyone, including students, is safeguarded and not taken for granted.
