Last January 30, FEU also released a health advisory for its students, faculty and employees who travelled outside the country in the last 14 days to do a two-week self-quarantine as advised by the University Health Services (UHS).
While, FEU Central Student Organization (FEUCSO) took initiative in giving free surgical masks and requested the availability of liquid hand soaps in the campus comfort rooms last January 31.
Last night, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte declared a State of Public Health Emergency in a press briefing and ordered the suspension of classes in all levels across Metro Manila from March 10-14, 2020 to give local governments time to conduct safety measures.
As of posting, cases of COVID-19 in the Philippines confirmed by the Department of Health (DOH) soared to 33. First confirmed COVID-19 case in the country was recorded last January 30.
The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) last January 30, 2020.
