COVID Update - Quarantine
Due to the discovery of the new coronavirus variant, we have made the decision to reintroduce
quarantine for students who travel abroad over the Christmas holiday. If students leave Malawi over the
Christmas period, they will need to quarantine before returning to school. They should either
quarantine for ten days or they can quarantine for seven days with a negative COVID test at the end of that
period.
We thank you for your understanding.
