21 May 2020 NMU George Campus remains closed for recreational activities

On 29 April 2020, the Government announced the easing of the national lockdown regulations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These regulations included the shift from lockdown alert level 5 to alert level 4, which allows for physical exercise within a 5-km radius of your home from 06h00 – 09h00.

We plead with the extended George community to honour this regulation and not use the George Campus for recreational or any other purposes so as to ensure the health and safety of those staff and students who are living on campus. The safety of our campus community is of paramount importance in these trying times as we strive to implement all COVID-19 related health and safety measures in line with Government regulations. We are unable to do so when there is ongoing unauthorised access to the campus via alternative entry points.

We trust that George residents are appreciative of these challenges and will seek alternative avenues for their exercise and recreational activities until such time as the pandemic is behind us and national regulations are lifted.

Thank you for your support.
