covid-19

We do care about the health of our students, professors and administrative staff, but also about the health of the university’s collaborators, which is why we have taken the necessary measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 as much as possible.

We keep constant contact with the authorities responsible for preventing the spread of COVID-19 and with the members of the university community. All the decisions taken will be promptly made public.

We want to make sure you are safe and to limit therefore the contact among the UNITBV community members. That is why we have decided that, for a while, the courses should be held exclusively online, and that we meet at the faculties only for seminars, laboratories and practical works. We have prepared the spaces as indicated by the health authorities and we will make sure that the health rules are observed daily.

The UNITBV approved plan of action is available HERE.

The coordinator of the activities for the prevention agianst COVID-19 infection at institutional level is Prof. Dr. Liliana Rogozea- Vice-Rector for public relations: prorector-rel.publice-imagine@unitbv.ro

The list of those in charge of the prevention and monitoring of COVID-19 infection in each faculty can be consulted HERE.
