MEDAN - The University of North Sumatra (USU) has again implemented online learning in connection with the increase in the number of students, lecturers and education staff who are positive for COVID-19, reaching more than 100 people.

The re-enactment of online learning is based on a Circular issued by the USU Chancellor Number: 2587/UN5.1/R/SPB/2022 dated February 14, 2022. A circular signed electronically by the Chancellor of USU, Dr Muryanto Amin.

Reported by Antara, Tuesday, February 15, the Chancellor said that after a week of Face-to-Face Learning (PTM) was implemented, and after hearing the input from the USU COVID-19 Task Force, he was instructed that the entire learning process (teaching, exams, research, street vendors, practicum, etc.) ) is again implemented online (online).

The period is one month after this circular is signed and will be evaluated periodically.

Meanwhile, USU's Head of Public Relations, Promotion and Protocol, Amalia Meutia, said the number of students, lecturers and education staff exposed to COVID-19 had reached more than 100 people.

The COVID-19 Task Force has just released the USU positivity rate of 10.7 percent. This means that there are 59 people who are positive for COVID-19 out of 551 people who were examined at the USU Micro Laboratory.

"Meanwhile, the number that 100 people have been exposed to COVID-19 is the result of an examination at USU and an independent examination," he said.
