NIIT Ghana Cares - Amid Coronavirus Crisis

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been in the headlines- an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered virus. The pandemic has already stressed citizens all over the world with globally 381,600+ cases and 16,500+ deaths, currently, 52 confirmed cases, 2 deaths in Ghana. According to health care professionals, the virus causes respiratory illness like flu with symptoms such as cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing.

Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments.

Prevention always being better than cure, NIIT Ghana urges every individual to practice the following preventive measures to stop the spread:

Additionally, we want to take the opportunity to announce to all our students that tuition would be delivered online due to the pandemic and directives from the government until further notice. Also, we say thank you to all healthcare professionals in Ghana and beyond who are on the frontline to fight Covid-19. We wish our staff, students, families, and every single citizen well and safe. Let’s keep our fingers crossed to meet again.
