AUC's Response to COVID-19
AUC has implemented campus-wide efforts to respond and protect the AUC community from the worldwide coronavirus outbreak:
Events
Based on CDC, WHO, and government of Egypt guidelines on limiting mass gatherings, AUC is asking event organizers to postpone or cancel all events with public guests and more than 500 attendees until further notice. We will be revising these guidelines regularly. Please consider possible efforts to encourage social distancing, promote handwashing or use of sanitizers and other health safety measures. The CDC guidelines for event organizers maybe a helpful resource to consult.
Hand Sanitizers on Buses
Next week, all AUC buses will have hand sanitizers installed on the bus.

Notification of Recent Travel
If you have returned from a high-risk country, as defined by the CDC, please remain at home for two weeks and notify the medical office. The medical services number is 012.8000.1039.
AUC Students on Exchange Programs Abroad
The University is working with all students on exchange programs who are currently completing a semester abroad to determine the best solution for each student, depending on the country, university and travel options. All exchange students who were in high-risk countries, as defined by the CDC, have already returned to Cairo. AUC is in close communication with students in lower-risk countries and reviewing the situation regularly. Any student who is unsure or has questions should contact Dahlia El Tayeb at the International Programs Office at dahlia.tayeb@aucegypt.edu or contact the Office of the Dean of Students at deanofstudents@aucegypt.edu.
