East Westphalia universities banish China travelers from campus
Universities of Bielefeld and Paderborn ban employees, students and guests who have been in China since January 1 from the campus at the beginning of the semester break.
In an e-mail from the Bielefeld Rector Gerhard Sagerer, which is in the “New Westphalian”, all those affected are asked not to enter the universities in the next two weeks after their return.
“With the measure we want to prevent possible contagions because the university is a very densely populated area,” said the spokesman for Bielefeld University, Ingo Lohuis, when asked by the newspaper. “In addition, we would like to raise awareness with the letter by pointing out the dangers of the virus and offering orientation, because in the past few days there have been many questions about business trips, exchange programs and visits by guests.”
