China News Service, October 23. According to the website of the Chinese Consulate General in New York, since the autumn, the number of confirmed cases of the new crown pneumonia in the ten states of the Consulate General of the Chinese Consulate in New York has continued to rebound, and some universities have also reported cases of varying scales. Dissemination, overseas students still face greater risks in terms of health and personal safety.

I hope that the students will continue to be vigilant, increase awareness of epidemic prevention and social responsibility, avoid paralysis of thoughts and fluke mentality, earnestly protect themselves, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and continue to grow in adversity.

1. Attach great importance to the development of the epidemic

　　At present, all states and schools have issued strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and some students have been expelled and other severe punishments for violating the school's epidemic prevention regulations.

Students studying abroad are requested to pay close attention to the epidemic situation and protective measures issued by the local government's health and epidemic prevention department and the school, strictly abide by relevant regulations, earnestly protect themselves, wear masks, wash hands frequently, disinfect frequently, and maintain a safe social distance.

2. Minimize unnecessary outings

　　Public holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching.

During the epidemic, it is recommended to stay in the local area, strictly abide by the school’s travel regulations, avoid long-distance travel, and reduce the use of enclosed public transportation.

Do not go to crowded places, do not participate in dinner parties.

Reasonably choose online shopping channels according to local conditions, reduce the frequency of offline supermarket shopping, and reduce the risk of cross-infection.

3. See a doctor promptly for suspected symptoms

　　If you have suspected symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, especially if you have recently traveled to a severely affected area or have close contact with a confirmed person, please promptly seek medical assistance from the school hospital or local hospital in accordance with the school’s new crown epidemic guidelines.

If necessary, you can consult domestic professionals through the remote diagnosis and treatment platform.

Fourth, enhance safety awareness

　　"Our common enemy is viruses, not people."

In the event of unfriendly discrimination and offensive words and deeds, you must remain rational, get out of the way in time, avoid escalation to physical conflict, and make every effort to ensure your own safety.

In case of offense and assault, report to the school and the police in time to protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals.

At the same time, strengthen understanding of the changes in the US immigration policy, carry items in compliance with regulations, treat the US law enforcement agencies with caution, and contact the embassy or consulate for help if necessary.

5. Pay attention to your own mental health

　　The continuation of the epidemic can easily cause people to have a psychological stress response, bring shocks and challenges to mental health, and may also have a serious impact on academics and physical health.

I hope that students bravely face the epidemic and various difficulties, try to maintain a normal pace of life, maintain communication and communication with relatives and friends, and actively participate in online activities of school clubs.

If necessary, you can seek professional psychological help through schools and formal channels.

6. Be vigilant to prevent fraud

　　At present, telecommunications fraud still occurs frequently. All unfamiliar calls in the name or reason of embassies, public security, customs, immigration authorities, courier companies, banks, etc. may be fraudulent calls. Please be vigilant.

When it comes to topics such as an expired identity, involvement in a criminal case, shooting a kidnapping video, and vaccinations, you cannot easily believe it, and you must verify it through formal channels.

Pay attention to the safe use of bank cards to prevent loss and information leakage.

In case of fraud or stolen bank card, please report to the local police station in time and contact the issuing bank for proper disposal.

If you have any questions, please ask our library for assistance.

7. Carry forward the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance

　　The more during the epidemic, the more fully the friendship between overseas students can show their solidarity and help each other.

If students encounter difficulties, they can seek help from the school's Chinese Overseas Chinese Association or the local Chinese Overseas Chinese Association.

If possible, you can also help more students and compatriots in need through the above-mentioned associations as a volunteer.
