BANGKOK — Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok and Khon Kaen University in the northeast, announced earlier this week that they will allow their university students and staff who recently arrived from a trip abroad to take a leave of absence of up to two weeks.
To safeguard others from the coronavirus outbreak, the leave of absence of up to 2 weeks will not affect the students and staff absent leave count, according to the announcement released by Chulalongkorn University on January 27.
Both universities also asked those who have traveled abroad to monitor themselves for any symptoms associated with the deadly virus.
