Contingency Controls
In line with the IATF and DOH protocols and as part of the University’s safety measures, the Health Services Office will secure the contact details of persons indicated in the online survey.
When the need arises for DLSU to conduct contact tracing, HSO will gather the names and contact numbers of all people he/she had been in close contact with.
All close contacts will be contacted to be advised to monitor signs and symptoms, to seek consultation, and to quarantine immediately.
The Health Services Office shall closely monitor the status of the individual.
Daily schedules
There will be staggered schedules to help address cues and congestion at:
- Entrances/exits
- Corridors
- Canteens
- General circulation areas
Lunch breaks should be taken at different time slots.
Other campuses and facilities
These standards shall be implemented in all campuses, but may change to adopt to the unique situation and context of the specific campus.
The University will release additional, more detailed and updated announcements on hygiene, sanitation, and safe distancing guidelines.
Your health and safety is our primary concern. With your usual cooperation, we can overcome this pandemic and make our Founder’s mission alive and vibrant in these times.
