April 26 is the first day of resumption of Nankai’s staff. According to the university’s arrangement, teachers and staff who meet the requirements of returning to school can return to work in batches on the same day. From that day on, on the premise of ensuring epidemic prevention and control, the university will make overall plans for class resumption in batches and employment of graduates in the spring semester, and steadily promote the return to normal practices of all tasks.

Before the staff’s resumption, the university formulated detailed work plans. On the first day of resumption, teachers and staff started to work in an orderly manner as mandated.

All canteens will carry out disinfection before the three meals, and provide hand sanitizer for free at the entrance and near the washing basins. Teachers and students must wear masks when choosing and taking meals, keep a distance of more than 1 meter in line, and remove masks at the last possible moment before they sit down to eat. One table per one person is the mandate. Face-to-face dining is not allowed.
