自11月23日发现新冠肺炎阳性感染者，学校一直在政府的指导下全力开展抗疫工作，配合防疫部门组织密接人员的转运隔离，并做好在校师生的保障服务。

学校深知这个艰难时期给广大师生的学习生活造成了极大影响。11月25日下午，学校党委书记应雄、首席财务和规划官马天（Thomas Murphy）等一行到生活区看望学生，感谢同学们对学校防疫工作的理解、支持和包容，同时也鼓舞大家同心战疫、共克时艰，早日使校园恢复往日的宁静与秩序。

马天说，他之前一直通过邮件跟同学们沟通校园疫情进展。这次希望“面对面”地跟大家交流目前的最新情况。

“今天上午，又有一名在集中隔离点的学生新冠肺炎核酸检测呈阳性。接下来，为确保大家的安全，我们将继续安排校内密切接触者转运至湖州相关酒店进行集中隔离。”

马天表示，他深知这对大家来说并不是一个好消息，但他认为学校应该开诚布公地与学生说明情况。

应雄书记为即将出发转运的学生们送行，对同学们的配合和支持表示由衷的感谢。“现今大家会遭遇到一些困难和不便，但同学们的理解是学校打赢战斗的重要力量。希望同学们在外照顾好自己，相信很快大家就能重逢于美丽的宁诺校园。”

与此同时，徐亚芬理事长收到了一封来自英国诺丁汉大学执行校长席若·韦斯特的信。韦斯特校长表达了对宁诺师生的真诚关怀，在信中写道：“尼克·迈尔斯教授正在向我和其他英诺的校领导及时汇报最新宁诺校园现状和事态进展情况，我知道他和宁波的同事们正在尽一切可能地支持我们的学生和同事们。如果有什么我能做的，请您告知我，我将不遗余力地支持。”

University leaders encourage students to overcome difficulties together

Since the Covid-19 outbreak on campus in the early morning of 24 November, the university has been doing its best to fight the pandemic under the guidance of the government, to organise the transfer and quarantine for the close contacts of the students tested positive, and to ensure that the basic needs of our on-campus students and staff are met.

The university is fully aware that this difficult time has had a great impact on the life of staff and students. In the afternoon of 25 November, Party Secretary Ying Xiong and Thomas Murphy, Chief Financial and Planning Officer, visited the student living area, thanking the students for their understanding and support to the university's pandemic prevention work, and encouraged students to stick together and overcome the difficulties with the university together.

Thomas said he had been communicating with students about the situation on campus via email. This time, he wanted to talk to them "face to face" about the latest update.

“This morning, unfortunately we have identified one further student who tested positive for coronavirus in central quarantine. We need to arrange for students, who are close contacts, to be transferred to a central quarantine hotel in Huzhou. We need to do this for the protection of yourselves and your fellow students.”

Thomas was well aware that this is not particularly good news for everyone, but he thought the university should be open and honest with the students about the situation.

Ying Xiong saw off the students who were about to leave for the transfer and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the students for their cooperation and support. He noted that it is a difficult time for everyone but the university will surely win the battle against the pandemic with the joint efforts of every student. “I hope all our students will take good care of themselves during the quarantine, and see you all soon back in this beautiful campus,” he said.

In the meantime, Madam Xu, Chair of UNNC Board, received a letter from Professor Shearer West, Vice-Chancellor of University of Nottingham, in which Professor West expressed her sincere care of staff and students of UNNC. “Professor Nick Miles is keeping myself and our senior staff in the UK closely informed of activity and developments, and I know that he and his colleagues at Ningbo are doing everything possible to support our students and colleagues at this time,” she writes in the letter. “If I may be of any assistance to you during this period, please do advise me immediately, and I shall be only too happy to help.”
