Covid Information January 3rd, 2022

Following government announcements during the holiday season, the health protocol applicable to CentraleSupélec is changing in order to adapt to the epidemiological situation.

 

1 - Classes, exams and library services will be held in person, in accordance with the health protocol in effect since the beginning of the school year.

 

Students will be welcomed according to the overall capacity of the school. There is no imposed capacity. On the other hand, it is reminded that respecting barrier measures is essential to limit contagion and keep campuses open. Wearing a mask indoors and outdoors is mandatory. Hydroalcoholic gel is available for self-service on all campuses. Particular attention must be paid to the ventilation of the premises. CO² sensors are available in addition to the automatic ventilation systems existing in the Bouygues and Eiffel buildings on the Paris Saclay campus. They can be requested from the prevention advisor, Nadège Terny (nadege.terny@centralesupelec.fr) or at the reception desk on the Metz, Pomacle and Rennes campuses.

The specific health protocol applicable to examinations and competitions remains in force (instruction of November 2021). Substitute tests are offered to students subject to isolation.

 

2 - The university catering service provided by CROUS/Sodexo will resume as usual in accordance with the sanitary protocol applied since the beginning of the school year.

 

Meals taken in common rooms must strictly respect the rules of distanciation. The ventilation of these rooms must be ensured in order to maintain the CO2 level below 800 ppm.


 

3 - Events organized on the campuses are subject to the health pass when they are not part of the curriculum.

 

They cannot gather more than 2000 people indoors and 5000 outdoors. All festive events or moments of conviviality (greeting ceremonies, meals, parties, etc.) are forbidden in person until January 31. The use of video conferencing is strongly encouraged for the organization of meetings.


 

4 - From January 3rd and for three weeks, teleworking is compulsory three days a week for people whose activity can be carried out remotely insofar as this is compatible with the obligation to ensure the continuity of service: pedagogical, experimental, administrative and technical, maintenance, security of the premises and installations (in particular IT). The different managers and service entities will define the continuity of service specific to their entity and will organize remote work, taking into account the risks of disorganization that the increase in contamination poses to the continuity of activity.


 

  1. - The vaccination and testing system

Paris-Saclay Campus

The ANTICOVID BAR-Num system has been maintained. In December, 1,369 people were vaccinated at the various University sites, including 335 at the December 16 session at CentraleSupélec (106 staff, 178 students and 58 outside) with Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. COVID screening is performed by antigenic tests. It is covered by health insurance under the conditions defined by the government. On January 3, 10 and 17, new vaccination sessions are organized in the Breguet building (F1-51). Starting January 24, sessions will be held every Monday in VI 009 in the EIFFEL building.

For vaccination, it is mandatory to make an appointment via the link reserved for students and staff of the University Paris Saclay: https://www.doctolib.fr/centre-de-vaccination-covid-19/gif-sur-yvette/centre-de-vaccination-covid-19-universite-paris-saclay . Other vaccination sites are also available to CentraleSupélec staff and students elsewhere in the University.

 

For COVID screening tests (nasopharyngeal antigen tests), registration is done via the following link: https://admin-sphinx.u-psud.fr/SurveyServer/s/pedagogie/Tests_recensement/questionnaire.htm

 

Self-testing kits are available for students and staff. They can be picked up at the medical service (Bouygues Building, ground floor, H.037) or from Nadège TERNY, Prevention Advisor (Bouygues Building, ground floor, H.031).

 

Rennes Campus

For vaccination, appointments can be made via the following link: https://www.doctolib.fr/vaccination-covid-19/rennes.

Unfortunately, it seems that there are currently no more slots available. If you are looking for an appointment, please be patient and log back in regularly.

 

Self-testing kits are available. They can be picked up at the reception desk.

Metz campus

For vaccination, no tent will be organized on campus. Appointments can be made directly at the vaccination centers set up in Metz where several hundred slots are available: https://vitemadose.covidtracker.fr/.

Self-testing kits are available for students (Pôle DE) and staff (Accueil).

Pomacle Campus

Self-testing kits are available. They can be picked up at the reception desk.

 

  1. - Isolation rules in case of COVID contamination are simplified. Whatever the variant concerned:

 

  • Positive persons whose vaccination schedule is complete must isolate themselves for 7 days. This isolation can be lifted after 5 days if the person presents a negative PCR or antigenic test. Persons whose vaccination schedule is not complete should remain in isolation for 10 days. This period can be reduced to 7 days in case of a negative PCR or antigenic test. A specific cleaning protocol is applied in the workplace of COVID positive persons.

 

  • Persons who are confirmed contacts are not subject to isolation if their vaccination schedule is complete. They can therefore work as long as they are tested regularly. As soon as they are informed of their status, they must perform a PCR or antigenic test and then two days and four days later a self-test. These self-tests are free of charge and are available in pharmacies when the first test is performed. Self-tests are also available free of charge at campus vaccination and testing sites. People whose vaccination schedule is not complete should isolate themselves for 7 days.
