Latest updates in the situation at Université Catholique de Lille

In accordance with the measures announced by the French government, access to the campus has been closed since Monday, March 16, 2020, until further notice. The educational process continues in the form of distance learning courses and other methods.  

As the COVID-19 virus is now actively circulating on French territory, measures of confinement and strict limitation of movement have been put in place on Tuesday, March 17. The population is called upon not to leave their homes under penalty of sanctions, again until further notice.

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 the residence

Movements will be subject to controls. A derogatory travel declaration form, available here (attestation) can be printed or written by hand, available for smartphone or downloadable here.  An English translation can be found here.

All non essential places (libraries, sport facilities, shops, etc) remain closed. The objective is to limit contact and travel as much as possible. Unnecessary travel may be fined between 135 to 375 euros, with an increase to 1,500 euros for two violations within 15 days, and 3,750 euros and imprisonment for three violations within 30 days. The French Minister of Interior (MOI) and French police have issued warnings regarding fake police checkpoints and individuals impersonating police officers attempting to fraudulently collect a “fine” for not possessing a travel attestation document or for improper documentation. French police always write a report and the requirement to pay a fine is sent to your home of record. Do not pay any “fine” on the scene. All students were informed about these and other changes.  see link
