A rise in COVID-19 cases has prompted the University of Ghana to announce the immediate suspension of all social gatherings on campus.
Professor Rosina I. Kyerematen, Dean of Student Affairs, signed an official notice on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, issuing the directive.
The statement indicated that the Office of Student Affairs is taking preventative measures to safeguard the health and well-being of the university community.
“Due to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases on the University of Ghana campus, it has become necessary to suspend all social gatherings with immediate effect,” the notice read.
The restriction affects all student organizations, including departmental and school associations, the Junior Common Room (JCR), the Student Representative Council (SRC), and the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG). All celebrations and events scheduled for the week have been postponed until further notice.
Emphasizing that the directive is in the best interest of public health on campus, the university urged all student leaders and stakeholders to comply fully.
Additionally, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (ASA), the Director of Public Affairs, the Director of Safety and Security Services, department and hall heads, senior tutors, hostel managers, and patrons of student organizations and associations were copied on the memo.
In light of the renewed threat posed by the COVID-19 virus on campus, this measure signals a return to heightened vigilance.
