The safety and well-being of SMU students, faculty and staff is the University’s top priority.  Since 27 January 2020, the University has put in place a set of precautionary measures to safeguard our community against the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).  We will continue to monitor the situation, take guidance from official advisories released by the authorities, and adjust our measures accordingly.

This microsite serves as a one-stop location where the SMU Community and beyond will be able to obtain key updates and important information on COVID-19

While we cannot be complacent, we must remain calm and confident.  Let us work together, support each other, stay vigilant and do our best to protect the SMU Community.
