A Letter to Applicants of Xi'an Jiaotong University

Dear applicants,

Thank you for your application to our university. You are the possible students of Xi’an Jiaotong University. As you know, it is a hard time in China now, but we are sure to win out.

Since January 2020, the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak is occurring in China, mostly in Wuhan city, Hubei Province. Chinese government has been attaching great importance to the people’s safety and health. President Xi Jinping said, “The people’s safety and health always come first. The prevention and control of the outbreak is the country’s most important work for now. And China has the full confidence and capability to win the battle against the virus.” Until now, all levels of Chinese government have taken timely and effective measures in dealing with this epidemic and Chinese people have shown great courage and are united as one to fight against the virus.

The delegation from WHO visited China with the Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who said, “China’s measures are not only protecting its people but also protecting the people of world.” The WHO does not recommend any travel or trade restriction based on the current information available.

Our university has also taken various measures to combat novel coronavirus, such as postponing the start of the Spring Semester of the 2019-2020 academic year, asking the faculty, staff and students to report their possible health conditions, separating the suspected patients, distributing the masks to our international students, and launching patriotic sanitation campaigns to make our campuses cleaner and more beautiful etc.

Please be ensured that the measures our governments have taken will effectively control and finally prevail over the epidemic.

Thank you again for your application to our university. All the admission procedures are going on as normal. Please feel free to contact us through the system or email if you have any questions regarding your application.

  Best regards,

Professor Wen Guangrui
