Abstract

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 has emerged, 2022 is predicted by researchers as the year for the return of normalcy. With every domain of life at halt, the tardiest recovery will be in education and research where 1.5 billion learners have been affected globally by the Pandemic. With meticulous but strong concomitant situation analysis by the universities, robust measures need to be taken to ensure (1) optimal mental and physical health of all faculty, staff and students, (2) balancing the financial and managerial crises and (3) development and implementation of long-term policies to stand-up to the challenges of this situation
