Some universities have been very swift at developing clear guidelines for handling the coranvirus situation. What is your university doing to meet this challenge?
In my country Iran, all the universities are closed and the classes specially in public universities are held online. I think virtual education can be effective in order to tackle with this situation.
We still do nothing, since we have no identified cases in our region, but in some other Croatian regions they sre calling for closing schools and iniversities for a couple of weeks.
We closing our universities for 3 weeks and the Ministry of Health has sanitized and purified universities
all classes dismissed, instead, teaching is via online platforms, especially Google Classroom and Google Veet

Nothing. Nobody has died in Nigeria yet, so it's all business as usual. However, there is increased concern about shaking hands and being friendly with pets especially cats. Hand washing is more frantically practiced. Its amusing how frantic people get when they hear that death was lurking around and about them.

Maurice Ekpenyong Thank you for your input. Our university, with about 20.000, students closed this morning and will be closed for the weeks to come because of the coronavirus. Most universities in Norway have chosen this solution. We have been asked to start online teaching at the latest 23rd of March. We expect more lock down in the days to come.
A team at the university of Basel has made a large scale computer search of millions of different molecules that could possibly have an effect against the corona virus and in collaboration with others they will test the most promising molecules.

Our University has started:

2. Issuing warnings and guidelines : Health warnings, hand-washing reminders and cleaning tips, a common thread in campus communications about coronavirus has been to "take an active role in rejecting xenophobia, bigotry and racism associated with COVID-19
3. Avoiding large gatherings: Students and faculty members are cautioned not to organize and functions, large meetings, workshops, etc.

Edwin Chigozie Nwokorie We have finally reacted in Norway, but the virus is very contagious. The price for being slow is high. Norway is in a special situation because many have economy for travelling. We have just had a winter holiday and meny have been to Italy and Austria. Most of our infected are connected to this.
As the health committee chairman in my department, due to the shortage of hand sanitizers. We are planning to produce large quantities of hand sanitizers and distribute it among students and the surrounding communities
The constituent universities of University of the Philippines shifted to blended learning and online classes. Also, majority of the affected areas (provinces and cities) with confirmed cases have already put class suspensions indefinitely.
