• Referring to the announcement of an international public health emergency and because of the risk of a SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, all international visits of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students as well as university employees to and from countries listed in the document issued by the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (CSI)* have been suspended with immediate effect, until further notice.
• Those undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students as well as university employees who returned to Poland within the last seven days from the countries listed in the aforementioned document of CSI, are relieved of their duties at university: respectively, attending courses and teaching, for a period of 14 days after their arrival. The academic programmes should be conducted, where possible, in the form of remote work. They will be able to catch up with any delays later following further arrangements made by the deans or heads of particular teaching units. Those members of non-academic staff who have remotely informed their superiors that they visited the countries listed by CSI, will be requested to work remotely for a period of 14 days. Their direct superiors should decide on the form of activities and their execution mode.
• It is recommended that all university-wide, department and sporting events as well as scientific conferences be – if possible – cancelled or postponed.
• It is recalled that in any case of suspicion of coronavirus infection, one should contact the competent Provincial Sanitary and Epidemiological Station and go directly to the nearest infectious diseases ward (not to a hospital emergency ward).
• It is advised to follow CSI communiques on the current state of affairs and to comply with their recommendations.
