An Important Reminder to Students Regarding Measures to Prevent the Spread of the Novel
Coronavirus:

The number of students tested positive for the novel coronavirus has been on the rise since
early October. In some of the cases, students were involved in dining and drinking at off
campus establishments.
Activities of such high risk not only enhance one’s chance of infection, but will also put
others at risk.
Please be reminded that, as a member of the university community, every student must be
fully aware of the risk of infection and act responsibly.
The university strongly requests every student to continue adhering to all the necessary
preventive measures, as has been notified previously through “Guidelines to Prevent theSpread of COVID-19)”.
