近几日，新加坡的社区病例不断激增。尤其是与陈笃生医院（TTSH）感染群群相关的社区病例不断增加，这让距离陈笃生医院一街之隔的Novena校区处境危险。

为了保障学生和工作人员的生命安全，NTU校长室昨日发文：主校区和Novena校区之间的穿梭巴士服务将暂停，Novena校区的所有学生和工作人员暂时在家办公学习。

一街之隔，Novena校区高风险

Novena校区距离陈笃生医院仅5分钟的路程，这让Novena校区的感染风险大幅增加。

无论是到另一个家庭还是前往公共场所，社交聚会不超过2次/天

保持小组人数较少

保持日常的联络

身体不适时待在家里，病了及时就医

能够接种疫苗时及时接种疫苗

Dear students and colleagues,

MTExLjY1LjQ0LjEyMA==

In view of the increasing number of community cases linked to the Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) cluster, there is a need to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the NTU community.

With immediate effect and until further notice:

All NTU students and employees are advised not to visit the Novena campus.

Students and employees at Novena campus should not visit the NTU main campus. LKC Medicine faculty and students living on the NTU campus housing may remain on campus but are advised not to visit the Novena campus during this period, and to consult a doctor immediately if unwell.

The inter-campus shuttle bus services between NTU’s main campus and the Novena campus will also be suspended.

The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) will implement new precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure the health and safety of its students and employees.

Effective immediately:

All employees at the HQ and Clinical Sciences Building in Novena campus will work from home, and return only on a need-to basis, for one week until 9 May.

Inter-campus travel between Experimental Medicine Building (NTU main campus) and Clinical Sciences Building (Novena campus) is suspended for now and no visitors are allowed to the Novena campus.

Employees who had travelled between TTSH and the Novena campus in the past two weeks are to monitor their health closely, with twice daily temperature-taking.

ALL postings of medical students to ALL hospitals are suspended until further notice.

All lessons at the Novena campus will move online in the next one week, with some classes postponed. LKCMedicine will inform students directly about their affected courses.

As a precautionary measure, the Novena campus facilities will be closed for deep cleaning and disinfection during this one-week period.

So far, all LKCMedicine students who attended clinical attachments at TTSH have been swabbed and tested negative for COVID-19.

As advised by the Ministry of Health, it is crucial that we remain vigilant to avoid a resurgence of community cases. Everyone should:

Avoid going to crowded places, and stay home where possible

Limit social gatherings to 2 per day, whether to another household or in a public place

Keep groups as small as possible

Stick to a regular group of contacts

Stay home when unwell, and see a doctor to get tested when sick, and

Be vaccinated when it is offered to you

The recent community cases are a reminder that the risks of a COVID-19 outbreak remains high. Everyone has a role to play in stopping the spread of COVID-19 and keeping our OneNTU community safe and healthy. This includes using the SafeEntry and NTU QR Codes for check-in/out at all venues, wearing masks at all times, maintaining safe distancing and limiting social gatherings.

To stay updated with the latest information, visit NTU's Intranet page and the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education websites.

Sincerely,

Ling San

Deputy President and Provost

Tan Aik Na

Senior Vice President (Administration)
