Beijing university takes all-around approach to virus prevention

Since the novel coronavirus outbreak began, Beijing University of Technology has been preventing and controlling the expansion of the disease from every aspect.

The College of International Education at the university soon formed a leading group and implementation working group. They strengthened communication with the international exchange and cooperation division of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and the exit-and-entry administration service center of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, and have been working closely with other relevant departments within the university to establish a joint working mechanism and overall planning.

In the college, working groups are established to cover 57 teaching and administrative staff members and 499 international students, including over 200 people who stayed at school, recording their travel details and daily health condition in order to achieve better communication and epidemic prevention.

The college has strengthened environmental governance of international student apartments, carried out cleaning staff training, set clear requirements for cleaning and strengthened work inspections and assessments. The dormitory area is disinfected everyday to clear all vector organisms and ensure public areas are in good hygienic condition. Students are required to keep their dorms clean and ventilated.

A pass is needed when people or vehicles enter or exit the campus, and everyone has to get their body temperature tested before getting in or out. Employees and students with abnormal body temperatures will be reported to the school right away, and assisted in receiving medical services. Of course, delivered packages and takeaway will be strictly disinfected as well.

In response to the large number of students staying at school during the Chinese holiday, cultural differences and their complex mobility, the college is disseminating standardized protection knowledge and the latest news of the novel coronavirus both online and offline to ensure everyone stays informed.
