These apps were rolled out by the NWU from 15 June 2020, and staff and students will in future be screened every day prior to their entering the campus premises. Only one submission per day is required, irrespective of how many times the staff member and\/or student gains access to the campus premises on a specific day. Security staff members carry out further screenings of staff and\/or students who may not have access to the Covid-19 Pre-Screening app yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on the successful development of the two apps, Chandr\u00e9 Botha from the NWU\u2019s IT development team says, \u201cIt was a huge team effort to conceptualise and ensure the development of both apps, which are aimed at creating a safe and favourable campus environment for the NWU community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world continues to face the unprecedented challenges meted out by the global Covid-19 pandemic, many countries and institutions around the world are developing new and technological means of maintaining health standards and creating safe environments for people to interact in and go about their usual day-to-day business.
