Dear students:

Recently, several areas including Wuhan City of Hubei saw the outbreak of pneumonia epidemic due to the infection of COVID-19. A war against the virus has started.

At this moment, our university is concerned about all the students across the country and studying abroad. To ensure the health and safety of all, our university has specially put forward the following proposals:

First, understanding of the epidemic and grasping the method. We should raise our awareness of prevention and control and learn the knowledge about prevention and control voluntarily; popularize the knowledge in this regard to our relatives and friends and urge our family to pay attention to the hygiene for prevention and control of the epidemic.

Second, scientific protection and avoiding get-togethers. We should minimize the times of going out, steer clear of places rammed with people, refuse to participate in large-scale collective activities and stay away from wild animals. If you are running a fever or having other symptoms of infected respiratory tract, please go to the fever clinic of the local hospital seeking medical treatment immediately and report the diagnosis to our university in time.

Third, you should mind personal hygiene and enhance your physique. Keeping good hygienic habits—frequent ventilation and hand-washing, maintaining a clean living environment; no spitting, using tissue or sleeve to cover your nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing, and wrapping up the used tissue or face mask before throwing them into the dustbin for harmful rubbish; guaranteeing a proper schedule for work and rest, and doing a proper amount of exercise to boost the physique and immunity.

Fourth, keep in touch with our university and cooperate with the work of our university. During the winter vacation, you should keep in touch with our university, pay close attention to your health status and cooperate with local authorities and our university in the investigation and prevention and control of the epidemic.

Fifth, you should think rationally and not spread rumors. Being rational in coping with the epidemic, keeping updated about the epidemic by following the news and notifications from the official channel and authoritative media; refusing to believe or spread the rumor or be in a panic, and never spreading false information on the Internet; faced with the epidemic, you should remain objective and sober-minded, take scientific measures to cope with it and maintain a healthy mindset, without leaving things to luck.

Sixth, you should study conscientiously for improvement. We hope that you can make a reasonable plan for your vacation. You shall review your lessons by paying special attention to your weak points for self-improvement. Wish you a fruitful holiday.

Important information:

Beijing has already activated first-level response to public health emergency. The prevention and control of the pneumonia epidemic caused by COVID-19 is related to the safety of each person’s life, and it is also the legal responsibility and obligation each of us should have.

According to the disposition of higher authorities, our university determined after discussion to postpone the time of school-opening for the spring term of 2020. The concrete time of school-opening and arrangement is to be notified. We ask you to stay where you and not to return to the university ahead of time.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of COVID-19epidemic, we will win this war against virus by overcoming difficulties under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee united as a whole.

Wish you a safe and joyous Spring Festival!
