INDEX

Legal Regulations

The application of the so-called “new normal” for the 2021-2022 Academic Year at the University implies the return to teaching activity under the terms provided by law. Given the nature of the majority of our Degrees, the premise from which we must move forward is that of face-to-face teaching, although adapted to the circumstances and demands dictated by the Public Health crisis. The first criterion for the model for the new Academic Year, therefore, will always be MAXIMUM SAFETY for the entire University Community, in accordance with the regulations issued by the authorities.

INTRODUCTION

Symptoms

COVID-19 is a new infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, on which limited information exists at the present time. Both this new virus and the disease that it causes were unknown before the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Currently, COVID-19 has caused a global pandemic that is affecting the vast majority of countries around the world. Although the situation may show signs of improvement in some places or at different moments, we should not forget at any time that the virus is still present, which is the reason that everything possible must be done to prevent its transmission.

Information from Official Organizations

World Health Organization (WHO)

The principal danger in contracting this disease is through close contact with respiratory secretions that are generated by the cough or sneeze of an infected individual. These secretions may infect another person if they come in contact with the nose, eyes, or mouth. The infection is transmitted from person to person and the degree of contagion depends on the amount of virus in the respiratory tract.The evidence available so far indicates that COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease spread among people. However, airborne transmission at distances greater than one or two meters seems unlikely. It is also transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, especially those that are used by various people (such as surfaces on public transport, water taps, doorknobs, etc.), when touching one´s nose, eyes or mouth after contact.Therefore, it is very important for everyone to comply with these preventive measures.

Prevention Plan

to avoid contagion of Covid-19 at Comillas

Throughout the de-escalation period, Comillas worked actively and in a coordinated manner on the necessary adaptations to carry on with teaching activity, in order to guarantee the health and safety of the members of the University Community, and to avoid and minimize the risks of spreading COVID-19.Specifically, the University has reinforced cleaning and disinfection, as well as hygiene measures, appropriate to the characteristics and intensity of use of all of its facilities to prevent COVID-19 infections, following from the guidelines and recommendations set forth by the Health authorities. All of these actions have been specified in a Global Plan of Action that establishes the measures to guarantee that the new academic year will move forward safely within the framework of the new conditions established.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Reinforced cleaning and disinfection tasks have been established in all of the rooms in facilities on campus, paying special attention to the areas of common use and the most frequent contact surfaces.

Cleaning

The cleaning of the air conditioning filters has been reinforced: all of the filters have been changed and the level of ventilation of the air conditioning systems has been increased to renew the air more regularly, depending on the occupation of the classrooms and offices.

Air Conditioning

Ventilation and Air Conditioning

Frequent ventilation tasks are taking place on the premises, on a daily basis, both at the beginning and end of the day, and in classrooms after each use. Airing of classrooms will last for at least five minutes, to allow the renewal of air, and ten minutes if the classroom was previously occupied.

Ventilation

Posters and Signs have been printed and placed around the University with instructions on:

• measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the members of the University Community;
• access routes, entrances and exits, number of occupants permitted in classrooms, work stations, occupancy available in bathrooms, conference rooms, the University Church and chapels;
• recommendations to be followed in offices for attention to students and the general public, as well as plastic separations to delimit these spaces, waiting areas in general, with reminders of the need to maintain a safe distance among those present;
• indications on the location of waste paper bins and posters with information on the use of elevators/lifts, etc.
