UPEACE adheres to all suggestions and guidelines put forth by the Costa Rican Ministry of Health to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, including social distancing on campus, the use of masks and partitions in classrooms, daily temperature checks, the provision of anti-bacterial gel in the hallways and more.
