The conditions we face due to the large number of coronavirus infections do understandably affect our environment and thus our well-being, which can affect our learning and its progress.

The government’s measures in line with the proposal by the Chief Epidemiologist have now been announced, and a new regulation will make it possible to better map the response of the university community. The Student Council’s Rights Office is in contact with the University’s authorities and seeks to meet students different situations in light of the rapid spread of the virus, especially so shortly before the final exams of the fall semester, but no less because of the holidays.

It is important that measures are taken with the health of students and staff in the foreground and that the many tools that the University has learned from in previous semesters are utilised so that the current semester can be completed safely.
