Anticipating the Spread of Coronavirus, the Dean of FEB UNS Initiates Disinfectant Spraying

Following the Rector of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Circular Number: 1480 /UN27/HK/2020 Regarding Early Precautions, Preparedness, and Anticipatory Measures to Prevent the Spread of Covid-19 Infection in UNS, the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Prof. Drs. Djoko Suhardjanto, M.Com.(Hons)., Ph.D., Ak., has coordinated with all Vice Dean, Head of Study Program, Head of Unit, and Head of Sub-Unit to start the cleaning process in all facilities of FEB UNS.

Following the coordination, Monday, March 16, 2020, a cleaning process and disinfectant spraying was conducted in all FEB UNS facilities such as the Head office, administrative room, lecturer room, classroom, laboratory, Student Activity Unit room, toilet, and mushola.

The disinfectant spraying was focused on the parts that are often touched by people such as door handles, chairs, tables, stairs, elevators, and many others. Moreover, the Mukenas and carpet in FEB UNS Al Latif Mushola will not be enabled for the time being. For religious activities, congregants can bring their own prayer mats and Mukenas. To anticipate any congregant who does not bring praying mats and, thus, needs to pray on the floor, cleaning staff is ready to clean up the floor after the praying is over. The FEB UNS also provides hand sanitizer in several Faculty buildings that can be used by the academics member and general public.

“In this condition, cleaning and disinfectant spraying on the facilities is important. I hope that all FEB UNS academic members will support this program. Let us together made the FEB campus become a healthy campus,” the Dean stressed.

The cleaning and disinfectant spraying on FEB UNS facilities can be finished within a day. During the spraying process, the faculty head and staff were requested to remain outdoor until the disinfectant “smell” has completely vanished.

A day before the facility spraying, the Head of FEB UNS Meeting was conducted in FEB UNS meeting Room 1 to discuss the operationalization of the Rector Circular especially the implementation of online lectures, the division of work hours for the academic support staff, and other matters.

The Dean hopes that all the Head of Study Program can disseminate the result of the FEB UNS Meeting in their WhatsApp group, thus all faculty members can understand the measures that have been agreed at the meeting. (Humas)
