亲爱的同学们：

当前，我们正经历一个非常特殊的假期，新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎引发了疫情。全体国际学生的健康安全是学校最重要的关切。早日战胜疫情，重回愉快的校园生活，是我们共同的心愿。在此，学校向大家发出如下提示。

Dear DUT international students,

At present, we are going through a very special winter holiday faced with a public health emergency caused by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). Your health and safety are the most important concern to DUT. It is our common wish to win the battle against epidemic as soon as possible and go back to a normal and happy campus life. Hereby, DUT has put forward the following notice:

1.请大家关注防控疫情信息。中国政府各级行政机构都在公开透明发布及时的防控疫情信息，大家可以通过电视新闻、网络新闻等途径关注查询，了解疫情发展信息，学习防控措施。

1. Please pay special attention to the official information and reports on the prevention and control of NCP. Currently, information and reports on epidemic prevention and control are released by the Chinese government and its administrative authorities in a timely, open and transparent manner. Please keep yourself updated via TV and the Internet, so as to be fully informed about the latest situation and the guidance on prevention and control of the NCP Epidemic.

2.请大家一定做好个人防护。目前在连学生除回国外暂时不要离开大连，有境内旅行计划的学生请暂时取消。减少外出，避免与他人近距离接触，养成佩戴口罩的习惯，防止被感染。关注自己的身体状态，适当运动，让身体提高抵抗病毒能力。做好卫生清洁，室内勤通风，维护舒适的生活环境。

2. Please take all necessary precautions and good care of yourself. The international students who are currently in Dalian should not leave the city except to return to your home country. Students who planned to travel within China should cancel your travel plans accordingly and stay in Dalian for this period of time. Please avoid any unnecessary activities that require you to go out or have close contact with others, and wear a mask to protect yourself from infection. Pay close attention to your health condition, do proper physical exercise to enhance the immune system and strengthen your body to fight off viral infections. Keep good personal and environmental hygiene, open windows regularly to maintain good ventilation and a comfortable living environment.

3.请大家配合防控疫情管理。我们以保护同学们的身体健康为最重要的目标，中国政府各级部门陆续发布了防控疫情政策，学校已经向大家发布了延期开学通知，暂时实行校门进出管控、校园楼宇封闭管理等措施。我们共同遵守法律法规、管理举措，才能赢得抗击疫情的胜利。

3. Please cooperate with us to support the epidemic prevention and control efforts. Your health and safety are the most important concern to us. All-out efforts are being made by Chinese government to curb the spread of the NCP. DUT has released the notice to postpone the beginning of the spring semester, and taken measures of campus access control and campus building closed-off management, etc. Only when we jointly fulfill our responsibility to comply with laws, regulations, and the university policies and management, can we win the battle against the NCP.

4.请大家相信学校是可靠的后盾。在这个特殊时期，请大家安排好自己的学习生活，学校将努力为大家提供必要的帮助。如果你有需求，请第一时间联系老师，他们会给你最好的帮助和建议。

4. Please believe that DUT will always stand by your side. In this special period, please organize your study and life well, and DUT will try the best to provide you with necessary help. Please contact your advisors timely if you need assistance, and they will help and give you the advice accordingly.

感谢你一直以来对学校的理解和支持！“风雨过后见彩虹”，让我们携手，任何困难都无法阻挡我们前进的脚步，请相信等待我们的必将是春暖花开！

Thank you for your constant understanding and support. As one proverb goes: “Rainbow comes after a storm.” Nothing can stop our steps forward. Let’s cooperate and work hand in hand to reach a bloomy spring.
