According to a report released by the university, it turned out that young foreigners studying in various institutions of higher education in the port city organized the celebration of Halloween in the city together. (The organization of such an event at Klaipeda University was rejected due to the current preventive restrictions). After the party in the city, some of the participants developed symptoms of coronavirus: fever, loss of taste or smell. The coordinator of the international mobility program at Klaipeda University was briefed on this over the weekend. After the tests, the Covid-19 virus was confirmed to ten participants of the ERASMUS mobility program studying at the University of Klaipeda.
All of them are isolated in specially conditioned rooms, their health is monitored and they are contacted before they experience symptoms. The infected had no contact at the University.
KU executives say the case only once again demonstrates the importance of following the advice of epidemiologists in a pandemic setting and avoiding further gatherings and celebrations that increase the risk of spreading the virus. “With the deterioration of Lithuanian epidemiological indicators, we have taken all risk mitigation measures at Klaipeda University: planned events are postponed, lectures that can be read remotely are held in a virtual environment, advises professors and students doing laboratory work to carefully observe security requirements, restricted access to University departments. We look forward to the understanding and responsibility of the community to protect ourselves and others, “says KU Rector Prof. Dr. Artūras Razbadauskas.
