In accordance with the latest announcements of Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) and Ministry of Education (MOE), the university updated the pandemic prevention measures as follows, effective from today.

A. Measures for confirmed cases and contacts

1. Confirmed cases with mild or no symptoms: Please take home isolation for seven days and do not come to campus during the seven-day period. For the following seven days, please take self-health management, and coming to campus is allowed.

2. Close contacts (individuals living in the same residence as confirmed cases): Please take home isolation for three days and do not come to campus. In the following four days, please take self-initiated preventive measures and do not come to campus. At the end of the four-day period, close contacts are allowed to come back to campus after testing negative with a rapid test.

3. Individuals taking self-initiated responsive measures, including confirmed cases’ classmates or their colleagues in the same office or workplace (identified through a 3 by 3 grid) and being together with confirmed cases for more than 15 minutes with either party with no mask on two days before testing positive

• Faculty and students: Please take a three-day epidemic leave starting from the last day of having contact with a confirmed case. Please do not come to campus during the three days. On the next day after the leave, faculty and students can come back to campus once testing negative on a rapid test.
• Staff: Please work from home for three days starting from the last day of having contact with a confirmed case. Please do not come to campus during this period. On the next day after the leave, staff members can come back to campus once testing negative on a rapid test.

Residential students who are close contacts or taking self-initiated responsive measures, please go home if possible. For international students or those who have difficulty returning home, the university will consider arranging temporary accommodation. If the other roommates have returned home, the residential students who are close contacts or taking self-initiated responsive measures can stay in the dormitory room, using a private bathroom only.

B. Measures of the distribution of free rapid test kits

1. Close contact of confirmed cases on NTU campus:
1. (1) April 29 to May 7: One rapid test kit per person.
1. (2) Staring from May 8: Three rapid test kits per person.

2. Individuals taking self-responsive measures (from May 8): One rapid test kit per person.

3. The distribution measures are as follows.

• Residential students: Please get the rapid test kits from your resident director. For those who have returned home, the Campus Safety Center will mail the test kits to your residence.
• Non-residential student: The Campus Safety Center will contact the relatives or friends of the confirmed cases to pick up the test kits on campus. The Campus Safety Center can also mail the test kits over if no one can come to pick them up on campus.
• Faculty and staff: The Campus Safety Center will contact the affiliated unit and assist with the distribution matters.

The original regulation stated that faculty members who are in the period of self-health management are not allowed to enter the dormitory or participate in courses. According to the updated guidelines issued by the MOE on May 3, the above regulation has been adjusted as follows. Faculty, staff, and students who are in the period of self-health management should abide by the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s announcement of “Self-Health Management Compliance Items and Notice.” Please take personal protection measures while maintaining regular daily activities, including going to class, entering an office, research room, or dormitory.

The school once again reminds all the faculty, staff, and students who are in the period of self-health management that if you do not have any symptoms, you can maintain daily activities. However, please keep your medical mask on and maintain social distancing. Avoid having close contact with people or going to places where social distancing is not possible. Do not engage in close or group activities with others (such as group dining, gatherings, or public gatherings). Do not go to hospitals to accompany the patient. Non-urgent medical care or examinations should be postponed.

If you have suspected symptoms such as fever, respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, or abnormal smell and taste, please wear a medical mask, contact the local health authorities, or dial 1922 to seek medical treatment without taking public transportation. When seeking medical treatment, please report the contact history, travel history, residence history, occupational exposure, and whether other people around you have similar symptoms. Please wear a medical mask after returning home and avoid going out. Individuals tested negative when the isolation or quarantine period expires should take self-health management until the end of the following period.

三、教職員工處於自主健康管理期間者，本校原規定不得進入宿舍或參加課程。現依據教育部5月3日發佈之新版指引，將上述規定調整為：教職員工生處於自主健康管理期間者，應遵守衛生福利部公告之「自主健康管理對象應遵守及注意事項」，請做好個人防護，可以上課，亦可以進入辦公室、研究室、及宿舍中。

本校也再次提醒處於自主健康管理期的教職員工生，如果沒有出現任何症狀，可以正常生活，但外出時必須全程配戴醫用口罩，並避免出入無法保持社交距離，或容易近距離接觸不特定人之場所；禁止與他人從事近距離或群聚型之活動（例如聚餐、聚會、公眾集會等）；禁止前往醫院陪病，亦應延後非急迫性需求之醫療或檢查。

若有出現發燒、呼吸道症狀、腹瀉、嗅味覺異常等疑似症狀，應確實配戴醫用口罩，主動與當地衛生局聯繫，或撥1922，依指示方式儘速就醫，且不得搭乘大眾交通運輸工具；就醫時，應主動告知接觸史、旅遊史、居住史、職業暴露及身邊是否出現其他人有類似症狀；返家後亦應佩戴醫用口罩，避免外出。如有採檢，在獲知檢驗結果為陰性後，仍須自主健康管理至期滿。
