HomeAmid the spread of the novel coronavirus infections nationwide, HU has launched an index for restrictions on campus activities. The 6-level index serves to HU members (students, faculty and administrative members) as rough guidelines so that they allow the members to act in an appropriate and flexible manner according to the situation.
We kindly ask all HU members to take appropriate actions based on these guidelines. Also, please keep away from the crowds, wash your hands often, wear facemasks, and follow cough etiquette. The following restriction index applies to all HU campuses, except medical activities at HU¡¯s Hospital.
As the situation is rapidly changing daily, please make sure to check the latest updates on HU¡¯s website everyday.
