Subject : Duration of Dry Run of University Contingency Plans in Response to the COVID-19 Health Emergency
Following the government's suspension of classes in all levels in Metro Manila from Tuesday, 10 March to Saturday, 14 March 2020 in relation to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, we would like to announce that the dry run of the University's contingency plans will continue as scheduled.
The dry run shall commence on Thursday, 12 March and end on Wednesday, 18 March. As announced yesterday, offices will simulate operations with a skeleton workforce, and on-campus classes will be suspended to give way to simulation of alternative modes of teaching, learning, and testing.
Therefore, there will be no on-site classes from 10 to 18 March 2020. Operational instructions and other details shall be provided by the respective school unit heads and other central administration office heads. We will continue to update the community regarding the COVID-19 outbreak through regular advisories issued by the University Physician.
Rest assured that the University will implement all possible measures to keep the community safe in light of this public health emergency.
