International academic mobility 

International students currently in Lille may return to their home country if they wish. In order to prevent the further spread of the COVID-19 virus in France, measures of confinement and strict limitation of movement are now in place. The population is called upon not to leave their homes until further notice, under penalty of sanctions.

The only authorized movements are these:

• Shopping for food and hygiene goods, going to the pharmacy and to the bank. Some fast food shops should still be open
• Visiting the doctor
• Taking care of a person in need
• Going to work (including for internships) when teleworking is not possible
• Getting physical exercise alone, near your residence

Movements will be subject to control (you need to have with you an attestation and fill it every time you go out) : https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/R56023

We ask you to scrupulously respect these confinement instructions, as well as to adopt the recommended barrier gestures to protect your health and the health of those around you: https://www.univ-catholille.fr/en/actualite/coronavirus-covid-19-communication

In case of symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 (cough, fever and respiratory problems): stay home, avoid physical contact with other people, call a doctor before visiting his/her office or call the emergency number SAMU #15 for distance assessment by medical experts. For non-emergency questions about COVID-19, you can call 0800.130.000. You can also benefit from a teleconsultation.

If they were to confirm your contamination by COVID-19, please report it to your host faculty/school in Lille and to your home university. If you live in an AEU dorm you should also contact pdelos.aeu@orange.fr or 06.02.10.97.42 (9am to 5pm).

For those of you staying in AEU dorms, please note the following information:

• The cafeteria is now closed and no breakfast will be served until the end of the confinement period.
• Please clean up after using common areas (bathroom/kitchen). Clean the door handles as well as elevator buttons every time you use them.
• Limit contact with other people; when you talk to someone, stay at least 1 meter apart. Wait for elevators to be empty (no more than 1 person at a time)
• AEU offices are closed but in case of an emergency, for housing, please contact : florent.ducloy.aeu@orange.fr or +33 (0)6.76.93.65.56 (9am to 5pm); for technical problems in the dorm, email the “referent” in your dorm or urgence.aeu@orange.fr.
