In a Covid-19 advisory, the UoH stated that it cannot afford a super spreader event that will again affect academic and research activities.

All the stakeholders were advised to avoid organising large gatherings and be extra vigilant. The university appealed to all stakeholders to get fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and consult the healthcare center in case of any symptoms or emergencies.
