Provincial Health Officer の「あの」Bonnie Henry博士が「9月より対面授業の準備を進めてください。」と大学関係者に語ったとのことです。
オンラインのみの授業で、一度も大学内で授業を受けたことがない学生にとっては「ビッグプレゼント」となりそうです。9月からの「キャンパスライフ」をエンジョイしてほしいですね。
UBCではこれを受けて以下のようにメッセージ＜全文はこちら＞を発表しました。
It is important to stress that the health and wellbeing of our UBC community remain our first priority. As such, we are embarking on further planning, in collaboration with public health, to accommodate more on-campus activities. This includes transit planning; quarantine arrangements for international students (if required); options for on-site immunization; and the availability of study spaces.
We are also streamlining the COVID-19 Safety Plan process, informed by new Go-Forward Guidelines, which will be provided by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training. More information about the safety planning process will be provided as it becomes available.
Updates regarding the fall course schedule and various orientation activities will be provided in the coming weeks. We will also provide specific information regarding student housing and course registration as we approach housing allocation and registration periods.
As we work towards more in-person activity, we will continue to support our community in maintaining the preventive practices of daily health self-assessment; hand hygiene; wearing non-medical masks; early detection and testing; and isolation, when indicated — the public health and physical distancing measures that we have all become familiar with and responsible for over this past year.
We will keep you informed as planning progresses. In the meantime, you are encouraged to visit https://covid19.ubc.ca and https://ok.ubc.ca/covid19 for general updates as they become available.
For our faculty and staff, unless specified in your Faculty/unit’s COVID-19 Safety Plan, remote work arrangements should continue to stay in place at this time.
Thank you to all our students, faculty and staff for your perseverance as we continue to navigate COVID-19 and its impact on our daily lives. We look forward to seeing our UBC community return, making our campuses vibrant once more.
Santa J. Ono
President and Vice-Chancellor
