Hello All,

I hope everyone is keeping well during this time, whether you are having online classes or not, whether you are a parent or spouse worried for the future of your loved ones, or waiting to resume your internships or lab work. 

Here are some social media platforms that may be helpful if you are needing support or wanting to keep up with recent updates. If you are interested in leading campaigns then please message the admins of these groups.

Besides this, here are some countries that have allowed their students back to some extent, it seems China is the only major country that still has to acknowledge this issue. Many students who were considering going/returning to China are switching to the following countries instead. 

Australia:

International students to arrive in Australia for first time in nine months under pilot program

UK:

UK universities rally to help Chinese students

France:

France to allow int’l students in from July

Japan:

International students and business people can begin to enter Japan

Canada:

Students and families allowed to travel to Canada

Taiwan:

Entry restrictions for foreigners to Taiwan in response to COVID-19 outbreak

Hong Kong:

Some 9,000 students expected to fly into Hong Kong from Britain alone this month

USA:

Student Visa Changes Indicated Under Biden

Cyprus:

Students PCR test and quarantine costs paid by govt

I'm sure the majority of us would be able/willing to take on any costs related to testing and quarantine so I really do hope the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs can give us any notice at all about their plans or what to expect instead of dismissing our multiple attempts to contact them.

Please take care during this time and do not hesitate to reach out for mental support if you are feeling distressed. 

我们一起加油！

Wish Best Wishes,
