[column 12 margin-top="17" margin-bottom="17"]All students should be familiar with the provisions of the Faculty’s Plan of measures and the University’s Internal procedure regarding the establishment of and sanitary and protective measures to be applied during the Covid-19 pandemic:

Are we required to wear a mask?

Yes, it is mandatory for all students and the entire staff of the higher education institution to wear a protective mask.

Where do we wear a mask?

To limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, all students are required to wear a mask while in both indoor spaces and public settings.

How do we properly wear a mask?

❚ Wash / sanitize your hands before touching the mask;
❚ Check the mask for tears or holes;
❚ Look for the top, which must have a metal band or a hard edge;
❚ Make sure the colored part of the mask is facing outwards;
❚ Place the metal strip or the hard edge above the nose;
❚ Pull the covering over the bridge of your nose, mouth, and chin;
❚ Fit the mask on the face without leaving free spaces on the sides;
❚ Avoid touching the mask;
❚ Take off the mask by grabbing it by the straps;
❚ Keep the mask away from yourself and other surfaces while you remove it;
❚ After use, dispose of the mask immediately by throwing it in a bin with a lid;
❚ Wash / sanitize your hands after discarding the mask.

What should a student do if they test positive for SARS-CoV-2?

Students are requested to immediately notify their year’s secretary and isolate at home for a period of 14 days. During this time, students should contact either their primary care physician or the University’s physician (phone numbers are not public, students will receive the information from the secretary or head of the year). The year’s secretary will send all personal information about the positive student (name, surname, Personal Identification No, year, group, Iasi residence address, phone number) to the person responsible for each faculty. The person responsible for each faculty will then inform the person responsible for the University (by telephone and e-mail), who must inform the County Public Health Department as soon as possible. For students residing in the University dorms, the dormitory administration will also be notified.
Asymptomatic students who had direct contact with a positive case and who, following the County Public Health Department investigation, have received the indication to isolate themselves, should notify their year’s secretary and the head of their group.

What are the protocols for student dormitories?

In the University’s dormitories, there are isolation spaces with their own sanitary group, in which the suspected cases of SARS-CoV-2 will be temporarily housed.
For each student dormitory, an action plan has been developed; this plan will be displayed on the notice board at the entrance of the dormitory building.
Roomates of the confirmed student will be quarantined in their dormitory room, provided that it has its own bathroom. If it does not have its own bathroom, they will be quarantined in the isolation spaces.

What should international students do?

International students, including ERASMUS students, will comply with the 14-day quarantine requirement, as well as with the obligation to release their address and phone number if they travelled from countries classified by the INSP (National Institute of Public Health) as a yellow zone. Students must also notify the secretary if they show signs of illness that require testing.

What do we do if we have symptoms specific to a potentially infectious condition?

Teachers, auxiliary and non-teaching staff who have symptoms specific to a potentially infectious condition (fever, cough, headache, sore throat, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting) should isolate themselves at home, contact their primary care physician and immediately report to the person in charge appointed by the management of the higher education institution:

What do we do if a positive case is identified?

If a positive case is identified by the University, the teacher/person who was informed of the positive case reports it to the year’s secretary.
The year’s secretary sends all personal information about the positive student (name, surname, Personal Identification No, year, group, Iasi residence address, phone number) to the person responsible for each faculty. The person responsible for each faculty then informs the person responsible for the University (by telephone and e-mail), who must inform the County Public Health Department as soon as possible.
If a symptomatic or asymptomatic student is tested and receives a positive SARS-CoV2 result, he or she shall inform the secretary of the year. In the case of a negative test, the student is required to isolate themselves at home as long as the symptoms persist and will resume their activity only after receiving a certificate issued by their primary care physician or the University’s physician.

How is the onsite teaching activity carried out?

For the successful implementation of the Measures to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, provided in the University Procedure, we remind you of the following:

Regarding the teaching activity and student distribution:

❚ Places will be marked visibly on the desks;
❚ Students will NOT stand face to face;
❚ Study formations will be preserved; students will be able to change the study formation during the semester only if the change is justified.
❚ Students will be distributed in classrooms (LP, seminar) in the order of their groups and according to the order in the catalog, and the student’s place shall be maintained throughout the semester; compliance with this requirement will facilitate the epidemiological investigation (establishment of direct contacts);
❚ For clinical disciplines, the teaching activity coordinator will distribute a specific number of groups to each teacher in order to maintain physical distancing; the detailed schedule will be known and respected, facilitating a possible epidemiological investigation.
❚ Due to the epidemiological context, the teaching activity coordinators should prepare for the transition to online practical activities as well and ensure the existence of didactic material.
❚ Students will comply with the 14-day quarantine requirement, as well as with the obligation to release their address and phone number if they travelled from countries classified by the INSP (National Institute of Public Health) as a yellow zone. Students must also notify the secretary if they show signs of illness that require testing.
❚ The teaching activity coordinators will ensure that students sign forms stating they have taken note of the provisions of the Faculty’s Plan of measures and the University’s internal procedure regarding the establishment of sanitary and protective measures to be applied during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Staff briefing and the ongoing communication of information to students on SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention measures

Students must be instructed by the designated staff / teachers to comply with SARS-CoV-2 infection protection and prevention measures, ensured by the signing of the acknowledgment at least once a week.
Tutors are expected to monitor the way in which students comply with the Faculty’s Plan of measures and the Faculty’s Plan of measures and the University’s internal procedure regarding the establishment of and sanitary and protective measures to be applied during the Covid-19 pandemic.
