As per the review and evaluation of recent university activities by the TSU Disaster and Risk
Reduction Management Committee, a reiteration of the emergency protocols and skeletal

This communication is issued pursuant to the disseminated Emergency Protocols and Intensified
Precautionary Measures against the threat of Coronavirus by the TSU DRRM Committee on
March 19, 2020 via the TSU website and Office of Public Affairs Facebook page.

1. Only members of the skeletal workforce and volunteers certified by the TSU DRRM
Committee are allowed to enter the premises of TSU campuses. However, they are directed
to observe basic precautionary measures.

Likewise, all activities to be conducted within the TSU campuses must be approved by the
committee. Limited number of volunteers is highly encouraged. Those who have pre-existing
medical condition are advised to stay at home.

Names of volunteers must be submitted to the DRRM Committee prior to the conduct of
activities.

The abovementioned is in conformity with item no. 2 of the issued emergency protocols:

Skeletal Workforce shall be implemented for the continuity of the

University’s operations. Names, schedule of work, and purpose of

to prevent the incidence of COVID-19 in our university and community.

3. This also reiterates and clarifies the skeletal workforce identified in the issued emergency
protocols who shall provide the continuance of the university’s essential services:

symptoms of COVID-19. Prompt detection, effective triage and
isolation of potentially infectious patients are essential to prevent
unnecessary exposures among patients, health care personnel, and
visitors at the facility.
