In view of the Ministry of Health’s directive last night that all non-essential businesses are to physically close even outside containment areas, we have no option but to now reverse our decision to re-open some of our PC Labs as advised earlier.

We remind everyone once again that while our buildings and facilities are not physically accessible the University remains open in the virtual space. Our core business of learning and teaching is as robust as ever.

Message from the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shaista Shameem

I am happy to report an improvement on our PC Labs availability to students in some areas, though unfortunately not yet for all of them.

After an assessment of the health and access issue, EDFPD advises as follows as an update:

As confirmed by the Permanent Secretary for Health and Medical Services non-essential businesses outside the containment zones can return to normal operations.

Therefore:

From Monday 10th May The University of Fiji will re-open its PC labs in Labasa, Tavua and Sigatoka.

The re-opening will be facilitated under the following strict access conditions:

Labasa is to have only 15 students any one point in time

Tavua is to have only 10 students any one point in time

Sigatoka to have only 10 students any one point in time

The following strict conditions also apply for access to the PC Labs in these areas:

CareFiji app will be on and checked.

Masking is compulsory.

Temperature checks are compulsory

Use of sanitizers is compulsory.

All security personnel at the PC Lab locations named above will observe these protocols strictly and will turn away anyone who does not comply.
