Dear students and members of the NCCU community,

In recent days, you may have heard of reports about a new coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China. National Chengchi University is actively monitoring the situation, and at this point there are no known cases of the virus at NCCU. This is an evolving situation and we would like to inform you about the steps which NCCU is taking to keep the campus safe.

The incubation period for the novel coronavirus is two weeks. Individuals who recently had travelled to affected areas in China (in particular Wuhan city, Wenzhou city and Guangdong province), or who had possibly come in contact with an infected person, should monitor their health for 14 days, including taking temperature daily, washing hands frequently, wearing facial masks when coughing, and avoiding any public places such as hospitals and markets.
