Technical University of Kenya is continuing to monitor coronavirus, or COVID-19, which is not known to have affected our staff or students.
We also have dedicated information points - students should contact student support and members of staff should contact occupational health.
Director of Health services and Wellness, Dr. Kodhek has also shared on tips to stay healthy:
- Wash your hands. If you touch a contaminated surface your hand picks up the virus. Even then you can eliminate the risk of infection if you wash your hands properly. Do this frequently, particularly before eating or after hands may have been contaminated.
- Alcohol based sanitizer can be substitute if hand washing is not available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. These areas are most vulnerable to infection.
- When phones are exposed, they can be contaminated. Wiping down any phone you use with an alcohol based wipe will help eliminate contamination.
- Avoiding handshakes to reduce the risk. Masks can stop you touching your nose and mouth but have little effect on breathing in virus unless specially designed.
The Staff and students can contact the helpline on +254 20 and via email, from 8.00am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.
