MIT's response to COVID–19 |
Posted: May 12, 2020 |
As the corona virus (COVID-19) situation has continued to evolve around the world, MIT has been actively assessing the risk and impact on a daily basis and monitoring guidance from public health and regulatory authorities. Our primary concerns are the health and safety of our students and staff. Returned travellers On 15 March 2020, the Australian Government announced:
If you have arrived in Australia since 16th March 2020 at 12 am you must not enter the campus and return home to self-isolate for 14 days. If you are feeling unwell - do not enter the campus. Instead seek medical treatment or call the National Corona virus Helpline For information on the corona virus disease (COVID-19), call the Australian Government's National Corona virus Helpline on 1800 020 080 or Health direct on 1800 022 222. Any MIT students or staffs who are in this situation are encouraged to contact the campus to notify of their situation. Campus staffs are also attempting to contact those who may be impacted to offer guidance and support. Special consideration is being extended to those impacted. Students unable to return to Australia, or unable to return to the campus to continue their studies may need to have their study deferred. This will not affect their visa status. Students should contact the Student Counsellor & Advocacy Officers on their campus for further details:
Staff unable to return to Australia or the campus will need to contact and notify the relevant Campus Director:
What are the symptoms of the Novel corona virus? The Novel Corona Virus is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus. Symptoms range from a mild cough to pneumonia. Some people recover easily, others may get very sick very quickly. There is no known cure. There is evidence that it spreads from person to person, so good hygiene can prevent infection. Symptoms can include (but are not limited to) fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, and/or shortness of breath. MIT provides free confidential counselling support for any MIT student. If you need support at any time, please call 03 8600 6700 or Read More…
