Opinion: COVID-19: Ensuring the Safety and Protection of International Students, By Zhou Pingjian

Ensuring the well-being of foreign nationals has been made a priority in the work of local governments and community-level bodies, who are working hard to meet the needs of foreigner in their daily experiences, epidemic prevention and treatment, and resolving their legitimate concerns to the best of their abilities.

We have enhanced information disclosure. Local departments have kept local foreign nationals informed in an open and transparent way via websites, WeChat, Weibo and e-mail, posting updates on the epidemic situation through public letters, releasing information on self-protection, opening 24-hour multilingual hotlines.

We are doing our best to treat foreign patients. Local authorities are making their best efforts to see that foreign patients are treated in a timely manner and are well taken care of. As of February 19, 29 foreign nationals in China had been diagnosed with the COVID-19. Among them, 10 were in Hubei province, there have been 18 recovered and discharged cases, two deaths and nine cases under treatment in isolation. There is no reported case of a Nigerian being diagnosed with COVID-19 in China.

We are trying our best to provide services for international students. The Chinese government cares about the life and health of foreign students, just as we care about those of our own children. Leading local officials have either visited foreign students in person or spoken to them through video links. For example, the Party Secretary of Jiangxi Province visited the more than 500 international students in Nanchang University to offer his support.
