Chosun University, Steady Measures for Novel Coronavirus Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun University has strengthened campus-wide quarantine measures, focusing on placing hand sanitizers in the International Hall and dormitories where international students reside.

On the 29th, according to Chosun University, officials from various departments gathered the previous day to discuss measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in China.

The university posted on its website prevention guidelines for members (professors, staff, students) and manuals on how individuals and the university should respond if infection with the novel coronavirus is suspected, in three languages (Korean, English, Chinese).

Currently, there are 397 Chinese international students studying at Chosun University. It is known that none of them are from Wuhan.

The university health clinic conducted fever checks on foreign international students (including Chinese students) participating in the Korean language training program.

Although no students with symptoms related to the novel coronavirus infection were confirmed, the Korean language training program classes will be temporarily suspended until the 30th.

Additionally, the departure of international students (Korean nationals) scheduled to leave next month for short- and mid-term exchange programs in China has been postponed.

A Chosun University official stated, “We are continuously monitoring the health status of Chinese international students in the country as well as those who have left for vacation,” and added, “We also plan to provide manuals containing prevention and response methods for this disease to our university students (Korean nationals) studying in China.”
