Staff and students at UIC have been fighting together to prevent the virus.
Students and staff queuing to have a COVID test
In addition to the medical workers from the hospital, UIC staff also volunteered at the mass testing site on campus.
Some classes have been switched online due to travel restrictions. Students are encouraged to make plans for their studies and utilise their time wisely.
Before entering the campus, staff and students must present their health code and travel code. They continue to practice personal hygiene, keep social distance, and avoid any unessential gatherings in their daily life.
There are canteens and stores on the campus that make sure students and staff members can get their supplies and meet their basic needs.
The Estates Management Office organises staff to disinfect the campus regularly.
There are plenty of events for students to attend on campus:
Lunchtime concert
Tree-planting
To help students release stress from studies and life, the Personal Growth and Counseling Centre organised several psychology-related lectures, and students are also encouraged to read more.
A Mindfulness Room for students to meditate at the Learning Resource Centre
Students and staff could use the facilities of the Sports Complex for free, paid by a UIC Foundation fund. The opening hours are also extended; same as the classrooms, Learning Resource Centre and the Staff and Student Activities Centres.
