The institutions have, however, been advised to maintain high levels of hygiene.

HEA has, thus, issued the named HEIs with directives to reopen and commence with their 2018 academic year.

Moreover, HEA is appealing to the general public to report any HEI that is not listed above but is found operating, as the HEI doing so would have not been cleared to operate and, as such, might pose a grave health risk to the community and country, at large.

All correspondence with the HEA are confidential.
