A Message from UNBC: Novel Coronavirus

CFUR Admin

February 10, 2020

UNBC takes the safety and security of its community both in Canada and abroad very seriously and actively reviews its infectious disease protocols. On Jan. 28, 2020 the Provincial Health Officer confirmed BC’s first presumptive case of the coronavirus.

There have been no reported cases of Novel Coronavirus in northern B.C. and UNBC does not currently have any exchange students in affected areas.

Cold and flu season is upon us, so it is not unusual for people to get colds and flu this time of year. Please follow the usual health precautions to prevent the spread of illness, including proper cough and sneeze etiquette.

(An Aside: To tie this Novel Corona Virus into Northern BC Arts & Culture, perhaps check out this 2018 interview with author Eden Robinson, former writer in residence at UNBC, where she mentions her fascination with the coronavirus :O )
