St Petersburg University was among the first ones to take action following the news regarding the pandemic even before the first positive cases were tested in Russia: on the 29th of January five additional medical centres started working in SPbU student houses, where every student could seek medical assistance. More than 2100 people have already been tested in these centres.
Today, SPbU is taking every measure possible to prevent the spreading of the virus inside the university but at the same time to fulfill all of its obligations to the students, as well as, to help other universities continue providing high-quality education regarding the difficult situation the world is facing right now.
