NTU Updated COVID-19 Pandemic Measures Per CDC Announcements on March 28

In compliance with the announcements issued by the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) on March 28, 2022, all NTU faculty members, staff and students are required to wear a face mask at all times on the campus except when having a meal, participating in various indoor/outdoor sports, or in other exceptional situation enacted by the CECC. Though wearing a face mask is not required when giving a lecture or taking a photograph indoors/outdoors as per the CECC rules, the University suggests wearing a face mask in aforementioned situation if not being able to keep social distancing with others. Other precautionary measures are as follows:

1. During a departmental luncheon or dinner party, please note that:

   1) Participants are prohibited from going around the dining area to propose toasts to one another, as per the  latest CECC rules.

   2) To avoid person-to-person contact via the shared utensils/chopsticks provided with each shared dish, please arrange for each diner to have his or her own separate set of serving utensils for retrieving food items. If this is not possible, please instead have the restaurant's staff distribute the food.

   3) Any person undergoing quarantine, isolation or self-health management, or is otherwise experiencing suspected COVID-19 symptoms, must refrain from attending the party.

2. Access control and taking temperatures of personnel and visitors at the entrance must be implemented at University premises. This is complemented by real-name swipe-in entry control developed by the NTU Computer and Information Networking Center. Those without a university ID card may enter the premises by filling out their personal information on a registration sheet.
3. As the COVID-19 is still raging, please again be reminded to always wear a face mask when you go out, wash your hands frequently, and keep appropriate social distancing. Be on alert for possible COVID-19 symptoms: fever, respiratory problems, diarrhea, or loss of smell or taste. If any one of these symptoms develops, you should wear a medical mask and seek medical attention immediately at a nearby hospital for COVID-19 testing center, and you should also refrain from using any public transportation. When in the hospital for treatment, please inform the physician of your contact and travel history, potential occupational exposure to the virus, as well as anyone around you with similar symptoms. When you return home, please continue to wear a medical mask and avoid making any unnecessary trips.

All pandemic measures will be updated as needed and in accordance with the CECC's latest announcements. The University is asking for your compliance with the preventive measures.
