Dear Colleagues,
The UWI Mona's COVID-19 Response
Regional Headquarters, Jamaica, Friday, February 28, 2020. Once again, The UWI is launching a Task Force to assist with the mobilisation of the region's public health providers to deal with an incoming virus. Four years ago, the Zika virus triggered the response; today it is COVID-19.
Again, the Task Force will be chaired by Professor Clive Landis, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Undergraduate Studies and former Director of the George Alleyne Chronic Disease Research Centre, who has considerable experience in the field of Caribbean public health.
Rise in Local Covid-19 Cases
As we approach a new academic year and with recent developments considered, The UWI would like to encourage everyone to be informed and prepared regarding the rising cases of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
Reopening of the UWI Mona Campus
The University of the West Indies, Mona hopes all staff and students are safe after the passage of Hurricane Beryl.
