With reference to the announcement that COVID-19 Committee Chulalongkorn University has been closely monitoring the situation to prevent further infections after it was found that residents of the staff dormitory building have been infected by the Corona Virus (COVID-19) with the last detected cases on February 11, 2021, some further updates on the situation are as follows;

1. There have been no additional cases of COVID-19 infections during the period from February 12-15, 2021.  A follow up on the treatment of all staff members receiving treatment under the supervision of experienced medical personnel at the moment found that none of the patients are in a serious condition. 
2. The Chulalongkorn Health Center has contacted all persons at risk to undergo a screening process and today (February 15, 2021) staff members determined to be in the high-risk group along with all security personnel who are residents of Chula Nivas staff dormitory whose initial tests were negative (showing no infections) were asked to undergo a second screening. The results of the second round of tests will be announced as soon as they become available. 

The COVID-19 Committee Chulalongkorn University wishes to emphasize that this viral spreading is still contained within the Chula Nivas dormitory area and not the “Chula Cluster” type of spreading that could also include the entire university campus area and its vicinity.  Such reference does not correspond with the actual facts and could cause the society at large to be more alarmed than necessary. 

We invite you to follow news and announcements from the University and the
COVID-19 Committee Chulalongkorn University will continue to provide further updates and information via the https://www.chula.ac.th/covid-19/ website under “Featured” or CU NEX and CU NEX Staff applications.
