Following the Corona Virus outbreak, Saint Andrews International School implemented precautionary measures, announced on its website. Firstly, the school has advised that ALL visitors wash their hands upon

entry.

“This includes when you bring your child to school or pick them up during the teaching day.” says the announcement on the website, “Additionally, if you have recently visited, or been through, a country that is on Malawi’s A list of countries, we would ask that you self-isolate yourself from the school for 14 days.” The school has also advised that the isolated parties should keep their child at home if they are exhibiting any cold or flu symptoms, until they are better.

On the other hand, the school is anticipating

that schools may be closed as a government directive, therefore, the school will be shut for children so that the teachers can undergo training in the use of Google Classrooms as an online learning platform.

Covid-19 has hit East Africa; Kenya has shutdown flights and schools.
