MSM re-opens campus for students

The government has announced that students enrolled in higher education institutes, are permitted to attend classes on-site as of 30 August 2021. The 1.5 meter rule will no longer apply here.

Following these measures, MSM students are welcome to come to the MSM campus. Face masks are not compulsory anymore except in public transport and at airports. There will, however, be a number of additional conditions in place to ensure on-site learning can take place in a responsible way. This includes:

• A maximum group size of 75 people;
• Preventative self-testing is still strongly advised 
• Ensure the following hygiene measure at all times:
  • -Do not shake hands;
  • No more than 1 person using the elevator at the same time;
  • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use an alcohol- based hand rub, especially after a visit to the toilet;
  • ​Cover your nose and mouth with a flexed elbow or paper tissue when coughing or sneezing and disposing immediately of the tissue and performing hand hygiene;
  • Refrain from touching mouth, nose and eyes;
  • Use paper handkerchiefs and discard them after use. Then wash your hands
