Seoul National University Begins Segregating At Risk Chinese Students to Stop Coronavirus Spread

It is currently probably not a good time to be a Chinese exchange student:

 South Korean universities are taking various measures to halt the spread of the new coronavirus, including the separation of Chinese students deemed at risk of the viral disease, officials said Monday.

A recent decision by Seoul National University (SNU) to assemble all Chinese students who have recently visited China in one dormitory building appears to be the most radical of them all.

Under the decision announced by SNU’s Global Residence, all Chinese students who have visited China’s Hubei Province, the epicenter of the coronavirus, in the past month or who have been to other parts of China in the last two weeks, will be sent to one dormitory building on the university’s Gwanak Campus in southern Seoul. People currently living in the dorm building can move into other buildings, if they want.
