Month: March 2020

On the 17th of March 2020, the campus of Luanda International School of Angola (LIS) was closed down due to the fast spread of COVID-19, a flu-like virus that’s all over the news with new cases and developments of the outbreak daily. following in the footsteps of many schools around the world. The board of directors made a quick but important decision, after weeks of discussion, and the next day the campus was closed. For the students of LIS, this means online schooling like many other schools worldwide, international or not. It’s an unsure time but the school and the country are doing what they can against COVID-19.

Angola is one of the countries where schools are shutting. Along with the schools like LIS, the airport is also stopping international flights as a way to reduce incoming people that could have the virus. Other smaller measures are being taken with more masks, hand sanitizer provided in places like the supermarket and self isolation as well.

Hopefully the actions taken by the government and the people of Luanda and other areas in the country can all help prevent and reduce any cases of COVID-19 present in Angola. Along with the actions taken by the school, hopefully this situation can be handled fast in the country and in regards to the world, each country’s actions will impact the situation for the better to put a stop to this outbreak and eventually, allow LIS to reopen again.
