Covid-19 (Corona Virus) causing disruptions in South African Universities [21 days Lock-down in South Africa]

As a University student I'm very much sad about the situations taking place in South Africa because of Corona Virus. Nonetheless we have to understand why all these drastic measures are taken.

The outbreak of the pandemic in the country was a big thing to everyone as its cases quickly rose to hundreds. People were panicking, especially in the province(state) I was in (Eastern Cape). At the Varsity I'm in (which is a great varsity by the way) we were told that we should leave the campuses
by Friday (20th of March). It was a shock to some of us as we were still enjoying being on campus studying. It was a sad moment that we had to leave as we were getting used to the place and we had access to lots of resources on campus.

For me personally I got used to studying at the labs and studying during the night. Now Since I got home I have to study during the day of which is something I'am not used to. The problem with me at home is that I have a lot of things that distract me, one of them being music. As an artist/producer signed to a record label I have to make music all the time as some has to be released by the label. So if I'm at home, I think about making music and that distracts me from my school work.
So as I'm now home. I have to think of alternative ways to study efficiently as I used to on-campus.

As of the 26th of March we are expected to be in our homes as it will be the first day of the 'National Lock down'. It is said that the South African Army will be deployed in communities to maintain order. The National Lock down is more like a State Of Emergency. There will be no unnecessary activity taking place country wide. This means we can't even access community libraries. (I fully support the South African government for this Lock-down anyway).

One thing that students don't mind though is that they have lots of work in their hands. Students are happy about the early recess and they were more happy when the President announced the 'Lock-down' that will take 21 days. As soon as normal academics resume we will be filled with tests and exams. We need to be ready and prepared. Students should use this time to study like they never did before.
