Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic - Berjaya University College

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many countries to go into lockdown. Malaysia is no exception. We started the Movement Control Order (MCO) since 18th March 2020 and as of today, we are glad to be in the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO). 

Since MCO started, we have switched all our classes to online mode, hoping that we can return to face-to-face teaching in no time. However, on 27th May 2020, Malaysia Higher Education Ministry said that all university lectures must be conducted purely online until the end of the year. 

As such, some of the classes with certain conditions are allowed to return from tomorrow 1st July 2020 onwards. Here are some of the pictures showing the preparation done in Berjaya University College for the returning students and lecturers:
Welcome! but you need to check-in with the QR code by entering your body the temperature screening 
Social Distancing in the classroom - take your own notes from now on.
Can you see the cross - seat reserved
Settle down, lecture will start soon...
Don't try to poke your classmates
Some SOPs to follow.
 

That's all for now. Let us wait until the control order is lifted and you can experience the new normal yourself. Seeing is believing!

What say you about the Standard Operating Procedures?
