Coronavirus, suspension of didactic activity

22 February 2020

Precautionary suspension of all didactic activity from Monday 24 to Saturday 29 February 2020
Communication by the Conference of Rectors of the Universities of Lombardy

In consideration of the natural and wide-scale movement within the Lombardy region of large numbers of students from both Lombardy itself and elsewhere, developments relating to the spread of the coronavirus have made it necessary to take precautionary action to safeguard public health and the functioning of the institutional activities of all of the region’s universities.

From Monday 24 February to Saturday 29 February 2020, all didactic activity will be suspended (lessons, exams and degree sessions).
Unless we receive indications to the contrary from the Italian authorities, it will be possible to resume all such activities on Monday 2 March 2020.
Degree and exam sessions will be rescheduled to new dates set by each single university.

Administrative services which do not involve direct contact with the public will be guaranteed.

These measures have been taken and will continue in close consultation with Italian health and other authorities.

We will promptly inform students, staff and the general public of any further developments.
