In case you have visited an infected area in the past 14 days and you do not have any symptoms, please stay at home for two weeks, monitor yourself, and register your stay abroad information on the following website: https://regisztracio.aok.pte.hu/kulfoldi-tartozkodas-bejelentese
If you suddenly develop symptoms of an acute respiratory infection (fever, sore throat, depression, cough, shortness of breath), you will only be suspected of being infected by the coronavirus if you have been in close contact with a coronavirus patient within 14 days prior to the date of symptoms or you have been to an area in 14 days prior to the date of symptoms where the spread of the coronavirus is suspected or confirmed in the community.
If, based on the above, there is a suspicion of the coronavirus infection, please proceed as follows:
- stay at home,
- call the UP’s hotline immediately, established by the UP’s professionals exclusively for UP students returning from abroad: +36 30 577 3764,
- follow the doctor’s instructions.
Everyone is personally responsible for complying with the above provisions; failure to do so is considered infringement and endangering others.
Absences for the purpose of staying at home for 14 days (voluntary quarantine) because of complying with the necessary health measures are not considered as uncertified absences.
In case of your absence from the classes, please register on the following website:
