The Central Administration of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) announced this Thursday, 12 March, several measures to be taken at UFSC from Monday, 16. They include the suspension of large events such as graduations and ceremonies, as well as a protocol for the university community to follow in case of trips and contact with infected people.

For now, the decision is not to suspend on-campus classes. “We believe that, with measures such as the suspension of large events and the communication of trips and contact with confirmed cases, we will be able to prevent people who have any COVID-19 symptom from attending classes. Another important factor is to focus on the most vulnerable populations, such as older adults. The profile of the majority of our students does not fit this group. This does not prevent students, faculty or administrative staff members who show any symptom from seeking medical attention and following the recommended protocol of staying at home”, informs the UFSC Rector, Ubaldo Cesar Balthazar.
