Airlines, tourism, hospitality, and leisure facilities are massively affected and have grinded to a complete halt, and many service providers and retail outlets of all kinds have been forced to close or balance their business with the ‘New Normal’.

Everyone has a friend, a family member, a distant acquaintance in tertiary education who has been made to take up online classes during the COVID-19 hottest months, but can that be all that tertiary education institutions have been doing to safeguard lecturers and students alike?
