As A Student, What You Must Know About Colleges Reopening After The COVID-19
Pandemic
With the introduction of the vaccine and a general increase in the immunity of the community as
a whole, it may soon be expected that colleges and educational institutions will open at full
potential soon. Since the risk of infection from COVID-19 is likely to not reduce for a long time
to come, even reopening colleges will not seem like how it used to be before. Once they do open
the gates of colleges, students will begin to slowly realise what exactly is different.
As an educational institution with a large number of students, Swarrnim Startup and Innovation
University realises its responsibility towards everyone who is associated with us. To make sure
that our students and teachers all know what to expect from the university after it reopens, here is
a short overview of everything they must know beforehand.
What To Expect When Colleges Reopen
- Social Distancing
The norm of social distancing is here to stay and will continue to be a part of our lives. It
has become common knowledge in the world that virus in droplets ejected from the
mouth or nose cannot travel beyond 6 ft, and that is why it has become the new normal.
Expect this to be the case after colleges reopen as well, be it in conversations, classes, or
labs.
- Getting Accustomed
There are a lot of things that have already changed and are going to change even more
once you begin to go to college. Wearing masks, sanitising and washing hands properly
on a regular basis may need some getting used to in the beginning, but it is better to be
safe than being sorry later. This is something that you will have to take on your own to
make a habit of because it is for your own safety.
- Interacting
The way you have been interacting with people normally has now become a thing of the
past. Interactions between people, including your batchmates, other students, teachers,
and other members of the staff will change post-COVID. Group learning, collaborative
study sessions, and mixed lab sessions will never be the same and you must be prepared
to see them change.
- Identify and Report Potential Cases
Even a single incident of infection can cause a lot of damage. Isn
