Asynchronous classes from 2-5 May 2023

Dear UPB community,

We would like to inform you that there have been reported cases of COVID-19 within our campus. All cases have been reported to the City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (CESU), and the affected individuals have been advised to undergo seven days of isolation and self-monitoring for close contacts.

In response, the Occupational Safety and Health Committee has recommended suspending face-to-face classes from May 2-5. This is to allow those who have been exposed to the virus to complete their incubation period and prevent further transmission within the campus. We understand that this may inconvenience some of our students, but the safety and health of our community are our top priority.

All UPB Faculty are thus advised to prepare and deliver their asynchronous classes and activities from May 2-5, 2023.

Please observe all safety precautionary measures and avoid crowd-gathering activities during this time for a safer UPB campus.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this time. Let us all continue to practice safety measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Stay safe and healthy.
