At the same time we would like to reassure you that THERE IS NO REASON TO PANIC. Poland is following a similar scenario like other European countries, trying to reduce the risk of people being in big groups (e.g. schools, university classes, mass public events, big gatherings). Our University is currently working on solutions concerning on-line delivery of classes.
The university staff is working as usual, the staff of International Mobility Office is ready to assist you with any questions and worries you may have (email: incoming@zut.edu.pl).
Currently, we do not see any reason to cancel your stay, but if you decide to do so, we’ll do our best to help and assist you. Please note, that the success of combating the virus outbreak depends on behaviour of individuals. Therefore we would like to appeal to your sense of responsibility asking you to refrain from travelling in Poland and abroad, being in big groups of people, visiting restaurants or socialising carelessly.
Follow the hygine and sanitary recommendations and stay calm. We can do it together :)
