In his speech, CHEN Qun said that in order to strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic, people in Shanghai are advised not to leave Shanghai unless necessary and are encouraged to stay in the city during the upcoming Spring Festival. The number of college students staying in Shanghai has increased significantly this year compared with previous years. It is hoped that Tongji will continue to strictly implement regular epidemic prevention and control measures without relaxation, and diligently carry out management work and provide services for students staying in Shanghai for the winter vacation so as to ensure they will have a fulfilling and enjoyable Spring Festival.
According to statistics, there are about 3,000 college students in Shanghai who choose to stay in school for this year’s winter vacation. For students remaining on campus during this time, Tongji adheres to the guidelines of "Strict epidemic prevention and control without relaxation, continuous education and guidance, full coverage and guarantee of service rendering". In addition, nearly 100 cultural activities at school and college levels will be held in strict compliance with the epidemic prevention and control guidance and with personnel on duty to organize all activities so that students remaining on campus have a greater sense of security, belonging and well-being Moreover, Tongji has earmarked funds this year for student care, one part of which is used to subsidize students’ travel expenses for this winter vacation, and the other for festival activities including New Year's gift packs, New Year's Eve dinner vouchers, meal vouchers for seven days from New Year's Eve to Lunar January 6 and New Year's support money for students in need.
