Primer available for safe return to classes
Post-secondary institutions across British Columbia are continuing to plan for a safe return to in-person learning this fall.
To support these efforts, the COVID-19 Return-to-Campus Primer is available to help B.C.’s post-secondary institutions plan for a full return to on-campus teaching, learning and research in September.
The Primer outlines key public health planning assumptions and safety measures to help institutions prepare for the return to campus.
Additional guidance will be released in the coming weeks in the revised Go-Forward Guidelines for B.C.’s Post-secondary Sector, with implementation planned for Aug. 1. The comprehensive health and safety protocols in the guidelines are being revised to reflect the expected COVID-19 conditions for the fall along with updated infection prevention and control measures.
