After consulting with health professionals and the authorities of Western, Brescia, and Huron, these conclusions were reached.
They were being made out of an abundance of caution, while more people aged 18 and up can get the COVID-19 booster shot to prevent the omicron variant from spreading.
According to Dr. David Malloy, King’s President, they understand how difficult it is to be back in a scenario where they are unable to learn, teach, or conduct research on campus.
As the institution burrows down once more to help the healthcare system and those most vulnerable to omicron, King’s ask for the continuing support of both the students and the community.
It has also been announced that the library, residence, and study rooms will all be open. The instructors and staff will have access to their offices and will continue to provide student services in person and digitally as permitted by social distancing.
Each department head will consult with personnel on the best ways to serve the community and ensure everyone’s safety.
