亲爱的外国留学生们：

大家好！

当前，新冠肺炎疫情蔓延全球，世界卫生组织已宣布新冠肺炎为全球性流行病，同时，中国疫情防控处于“内防反弹，外防输入”的关键阶段。

自疫情暴发以来，各位同学全力配合学校的防疫规定，及时关注并反馈个人信息，学校对你们的理解和支持表示衷心感谢。各位同学的生命安全和身心健康是学校最深切的牵挂，无论你们此刻是否在中国，学校都依然希望你们和家人能够保持健康，共同应对这次疫情挑战。为此，我们呼吁各位同学积极配合，做好以下工作：

坚定信心。希望大家科学认识新冠肺炎，不信谣、不传谣、不恐慌，以良好的心态面对挑战，坚定人类必将战胜疫情的信心。

有效防护。请在原地停留，避免不必要的跨区域流动并注意个人卫生。如你目前正处疫情高发国家和地区，请采取所有必要的防护措施，避免到人员密集公共场所，外出务必戴好口罩。如有疫情防护相关问题，欢迎咨询学校老师。

坚持学习。请继续响应“停课不停学”的线上教学活动，调整作息，实名上课，积极与老师交流互动，不打折扣完成各项作业。在线上学习中学有所得、学有所获。

静待开学。据中国外交部消息，中国决定自2020年3月28日0时起，暂时停止外国人持目前有效来华签证和居留许可入境。同时，中国学校已推迟春季学期开学时间，这是遏制病毒传播的关键步骤。南京市《关于做好境外疫情输入防控工作的通告（第16号）》 也要求“外国留学生在学校复学前不得自行返校”。如未经学校允许私自返回中国，不仅将受到学校的处分，也可能需要承担相应的法律责任。另外，目前中国各地要求入境人员在指定地点进行隔离，费用自己承担。所以，请各位同学耐心等待学校发布的正式开学通知。

如果疫情防控限制解除，希望大家积极配合各项返校工作：提前报备航班信息，途中做好自我防护，理解并配合中国在非常时期采取的特殊入境措施，服从学校工作人员安排等。

我们期待疫情早日结束，尽快与大家重逢在南财校园。感谢你们的理解与支持！

Dear international students:

Greetings from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics!

As you know, COVID-19 is spreading all over the world now. WHO has already announced that COVID-19 is apandemic. At the same time, China is still at a critical stage fighting against the COVID-19 imported from abroad.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in January, you have actively supported the prevention and control of the Chinese government, complied with epidemic prevention regulations of our University, and provided feedback on personal information timely. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support. Your safety and health are our greatest concern. Whether you are in China or not at the moment, we all hope you will take good care of yourselves and your families and work with us to jointly address the challenge of the epidemic.

Therefore, we call on you to cooperate with us in the following works：

Keep firm confidence. We hope that all of you have a scientific understanding of COVID-19. Do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors, do not be panic, face the challenge with a good attitude and firmly believe that mankind will overcome the epidemic.

Effective self-protection. Please stay where you are and avoid moving across regions if you don’t have a necessary purpose.Pay attention to personal hygiene.If you are currently in a country or region with a high incidence of the epidemic, please take all necessary precautions to avoid mass gatherings to keep off the virus. Wear masks if you have to go out. Do not hesitate to consult teachers if you have any questions about prevention.

Keep learning.Please continue responding to the online “No Class Suspension” teaching activities. Adjust your schedule and take classes under your real name, interact with your teachers and complete all your assignments. You will benefit greatly from the online learning.

Wait for formal notifications. According to a notification from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, China has decided to temporarily stop foreigners from entering China with valid visas and residence permits from 0:00 AM on March 28, 2020. At the same time, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics has decided to postpone the starttime of the spring semester, which is a key measure we take to prevent and control COVID-19. The latest notice issued by Nanjing Municipal Government emphasized again that international students abroad are not allowed to come back to China before getting the official semester opening notice. The student who comes back without approval will not only be punished by our university but also may have to bear legal liability. Now some airports require people coming from foreign countries to take quarantine in designated hotels where all the costs need to be paid by themselves.

For the sake of your personal safety as well as the public interest, do not return to China before thetime which is officially issued by our university, please wait for formal notifications patiently.

If the restrictionsare lifted,we hope you can obey the rules that we have set about returning to school: report your flight information in advance; have good self-protections on the way;understand the special measures adopted by China in the emergency period and obey the arrangements of school staff.

We expect the epidemic will be over very soon and meet you at the NUFE campus as soon as possible! Thank you for your understanding and support!
