Happy New Year!

Just in time for the Spring Festival, a sudden outbreak-COVID-19 is coming. The National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China issued an announcement to include pneumonia infected with the COVID-19 as a Class B infectious disease, and adopted measures for the prevention and control of Class A infectious diseases. Chongqing has also added new cases.

On January 26, the Leading Group of Chongqing Institute of Engineering held a special meeting to make collective arrangements to implement the work requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The school is highly concerned about the health and safety of the majority of teachers and students. In order to do a good job in the prevention and control of COVID-19, according to the characteristics of the epidemic, and to better protect the health of you and your family, spend a peaceful and special Spring Festival. Teachers and students do the following:

If there are respiratory symptoms or fever, they should be taken as soon as possible Visit a hospital with a mask.

(V) Strengthen management and do a good job in emergency

（1）In order to keep abreast of the development of the majority of students, the school will calculate the vacation schedules and physical conditions of the students in real time, and implement a zero report system as required to report to the superior department. Please take them seriously and give feedback.

（2）The school will strengthen campus management and strictly implement the access control system. All colleges should persuade students not to return to the school in advance if the epidemic situation is not completely controlled, and implement a registration system for foreign personnel and vehicles. We sincerely hope that the majority of teachers and students will not invite or accept foreign visitors in the near future.

（3）During the outbreak of pneumonia caused by new coronavirus, offline collective learning organized by extracurricular training institutions is suspended. Teachers and students of the school are requested not to participate in various learning, communication and competition activities organized by extracurricular training institutions to prevent students from gathering and avoid cross-infection.

Teachers and students, no matter where you are, the school cares about the safety of you and your family. In the face of this sudden epidemic, we firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, the whole school's teachers and students are united and united with the people of the whole country. Let us act, treat objectively, prevent and control scientifically, and not make rumors or believe rumors. If you don't rumor, you will win this epidemic prevention and control war!
