The resumption of classes was made surreal by the myriad precautionary measures put in place to ensure the safety of the students, staff and faculty. Every student who arrived on the school’s Lausanne, Switzerland, campus this morning had their identity verified and their temperature checked. Each student was then issued three masks–mandatory for all hallways and corridors–for morning, afternoon and evening. Badges were handed out that indicated a student was “controlled” for the day to be on campus.
