Dear GUGC Students,

 

This is a Student Services Division.

We advise GUGC students to follow precautions announced by the Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (KCDC) to prevent novel coronavirus infection.

  • Wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and running water for 30 seconds or longer. If soap and water is not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Please follow the coughing etiquette if you have cough or any respiratory symptoms.
  • Please wear a mask when visiting crowded places and health facilities. If you don’t have a mask, cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve when coughing. If you covered your mouth and nose with a tissue, throw it away and wash your hands.
  • Do not touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands.
  • Do not contact people who have symptoms such as fever or cough.
  • Avoid consumption of raw or under-cooked animal products.
