1) Return protocol for students who are outside Student Housing
- All students will receive a form via institutional email to inform their return to the coordination at least 10 days in advance.
- All returning students must acknowledge and agree on the form with the health and sanitary protocols related to Student Housing at all stages.
- The guideline is that students who are outside the residence only return after the gradual return of the courses and subjects they are studying in person.
- All students must be aware of and comply with safe living protocols.
- All residents will receive protocol information via email and social media. Specific information will be delivered to homes.
2) Testing and surveillance protocol
- All symptomatic respiratory cases must attend CECOM on working days, from 7am to 17:30pm, for clinical assessment, collection of a swab test if indicated and notification of the case.
- During the consultation, you will be advised on how to contact the CECOM surveillance team to communicate the result, the need for isolation, symptoms of worsening of the disease and medical return if necessary.
- Asymptomatic cases will only have tests taken, as a form of infection screening, in surveillance and outbreak control actions, that is, when they have contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19.
- With the release of the exam results in the Laboratory's system, CECOM will be responsible for:
- Disclose the results of the exam to the student or employee;
- If the result of the test performed is negative, the student or employee will be reoriented on general preventive measures for coronavirus infection, released from isolation and advised to return to the doctor if symptoms persist or the condition worsens.
- If the result of the test performed is positive, inform the student or employee of the result and reinforce standard health procedures for mandatory isolation, monitoring of symptoms and return medical care if symptoms persist or worsening of the condition.
- Communicate to the Housing Coordination by sending a daily spreadsheet containing all the data necessary for them to provide adequate insulation and other issues related to isolation (reorganization of houses, environmental hygiene, waste management, etc.). In addition, communicate positive cases to the Coordination in real time.
- Identify and invite contacts of the positive case for testing. The Housing Coordination and RDs will be able to assist the CECOM team in identifying contacts.
- Isolation for positive symptomatic patients will be 14 days from the date of onset of symptoms and for asymptomatic positives it will be 14 days from the date of test collection.
- Monitoring of cases will be carried out according to the Ministry of Health protocol - risk group every 24 hours and other cases every 48 hours, except on weekends and holidays.
3) post-positive protocol (current phase, 1 and 2)
1) Once CECOM has information on positive cases in the House, the Executive Coordination will be responsible for:
- Immediately inform the DEA the names/RAs and houses of the isolated residents to receive lunch boxes at the House, together with the names of the volunteers (according to the list created by the Volunteering) who will collect them at the entrance at the times established by the UK for lunch and dinner;
- Organize the list provided and updated by the Volunteering, maintaining control of a scale in which substitutes must be included. Volunteers will transport lunch boxes from the Housing Entrance to the homes of residents in isolation.
- Immediately inform the CADER-Indigenous when there are infected people belonging to indigenous ethnicities.
- Intensify guidance for positive cases on the housing waste management protocol - both in homes and its disposal for collection in the collective space;
- Intensify personal and home hygiene guidelines.
2. Unicamp Volunteers will be responsible for:
- Conduct prospecting for potential members of the university community interested in supporting emergency housing actions.
Prepare a list of volunteers and their substitutes who are responsible for distributing meals, when necessary, respecting the times established for the delivery of lunch boxes to the Entrance, and provide it to the Housing Executive Coordination.
- Monitor, together with the Housing Executive Coordination, the needs and possible contributions and articulations with which they can contribute.
3. CADER-Indigena, together with the PRG-Indigenous Advisory Board, will be responsible for:
- Immediately inform the Housing Executive Coordination about alternative actions necessary to provide specific assistance to people belonging to indigenous ethnicities.
- Immediately carry out specific actions in support of the necessary referrals, informing the Executive Housing Coordination, with the help of Volunteering.
4. The DEA will be responsible for:
- Inform the RU dietary needs, after being communicated by the Executive Coordination of Housing, so that the RU send individual lunch boxes only to CONFIRMED positive cases of residents and their household contacts in the House who are also in isolation, within the limit of their ability to guarantee the integrity of the food.
- O RU will keep a record of the names of students, with the start date of their isolation, in order to guarantee the sending of lunch boxes within the period recommended by health protocols. Once this deadline has passed, the Unicamp student must pick up their lunch in the UK or, if by this date the pandemic has ceased, return to eat their meals in the restaurant itself. Each resident in isolation or regular visitor must be informed about this in advance.
4) Waste disposal protocol (Current phase, 1 and 2)
*Guidelines regarding waste disposal must be followed throughout Unicamp.
*The specificities of each campus must be aligned with the general procedures presented here.
* The technical guidelines regarding urban solid waste proposed for Unicamp were prepared based on the guidelines defined in the operational manual of the Observatory of Inclusive and Solidarity Recycling (ORIS) as it is the most current document that addresses the issue, in addition to the manual prepared by the Laboratory Fluxus for the specific case of Student Housing.
* The adoption of the proposed protocol contributes to the promotion of recycling as an environmental and social alternative to the treatment of urban waste. It promotes looking at pressing issues that collectors face to develop solidarity recycling, in a careful and empathetic way, especially in the Pandemic situation we find ourselves in, where the risks for this population are great.
1.Classification of waste:
Considering that the procedures to be adopted are different, depending on the type of waste, the following concepts follow:
1.1. Recyclable waste: paper, plastic, glass, metal, wood and special waste (mercury vapor lamps, batteries, cartridges and toners) - must follow the quarantine protocol, as well as the regulations already defined by the Environment Division from the Campus City Hall (https://www.prefeitura.unicamp.br/legislacao/Instrucao_Prefeitura_002_20160817.pdf)
1.2.Common waste: food scraps, paper towels, greasy paper or paper with food leftovers
1.3. Hazardous waste (generated in the healthcare area or in housing by a suspected or contaminated person): tissue paper, gloves, bathroom waste, paper towels.
2. Identification of waste:
It will be necessary to identify the waste generated by Unicamp, in color code, as follows:
White: infectious residue
Black: common waste
Blue: recyclable waste
Red or another color: quarantine residue
3. Procedures for COVID Housing waste:
It will be necessary to guide residents to:
- Waste from people with a positive or suspected diagnosis must not be mixed with waste from other residents.
- Dispose of tissue paper, leftover food, food packaging, cotton, cotton swabs, etc., in a plastic bag
- Place the bag inside another bag and close tightly
- Place the identified bag outside the residence.
- A representative from the SOS COVID Moradia Commission will collect the waste, place it in a plastic bag and be responsible for labeling the material identifying it as “CONTAMINATED XX/XX/XXX” and taking it to the quarantine area.
- The smaller bay, which exists in the masonry shelter, will be used to quarantine hazardous waste. The place will be locked with a padlock.
- The person responsible for collecting the material and taking it to the quarantine area must wash their hands properly after handling the waste.
- A minimum quarantine of 07 (seven) days must be guaranteed for COVID waste generated by residents.
- A Housing employee will be responsible for depositing the materials in the curbside containers after a period of 7 days from the date of collection of the material.
NOTE: The possibility of providing a totem with alcohol gel in the quarantine area for hand hygiene will be evaluated.
4. Procedures for recyclable waste from the House:
- Recyclable waste must be stored for a period of 07 days.
- Only one container will be available for depositing recyclable waste. The waste will be taken to the quarantine area.
- The four largest bays, located in the masonry shelter, will be used to store quarantined waste. Each bay will be padlocked and will remain locked for 7 days, at which time the collected waste will be transported to curbside containers.
NOTE: Evaluate the possibility of providing a totem with alcohol gel in the quarantine area, for hand hygiene.
5) Protocol for bus use (Current Phases, 1 and 2).
* Public transport is one of the main spreaders of Covid-19. The environment conducive to crowds; surfaces of contact and collective support; and the degree of ventilation in vehicles may represent a greater or lesser risk of contagion.
* The established protocol aims to reduce the possibility of the spread of coronavirus and offer students a safer journey.
1.Physical Distancing and use of Masks
- At boarding points: Maintain a minimum distance of 1,5 m between people while waiting for the bus to arrive. Markings will be made on the floor for guidance. The use of masks is also mandatory
- Inside the buses:
- The use of masks inside the bus is mandatory.
- Buses will operate at a maximum capacity of 50% as a way of contributing to distancing between users. In the Student Housing Line, a system of alternating seats was implemented, between corridor and window, which is demarcated by the cover at the head of the seats.
- Maintain 1 user per side of the row of seats, with alternating seats, using a seat with a cover on the outward journey (Housing-Campus) and without a cover on the return journey (Campus-Housing).
- Carry out programming to distribute students in rotation, into predefined groups, for each time, according to the maximum capacity of the vehicles. It is also important that there is no change between groups/times, to minimize the chance of cross-contamination. This planning aims to avoid crowds and conflicts, as the student will know when to catch the bus, but essentially to prevent risks.
- Student Housing must present to the City Hall/Unitransp, at least 15 (fifteen) days in advance, the number of students who will use the transport and the times of use, so that the appropriate number of trips can be provided for user demand.
2. Safety and hygiene inside buses
- Use of masks inside buses
- Mandatory use of facial protection masks by drivers and users of transport services is determined in specific legislation and aims at the individual and collective protection of everyone;
- If the user is not using this protection, the driver will not allow them to board, as provided for in the sole paragraph of Resolution GR;
- If the user removes this protection during the journey, the driver and/or the Unitransp inspector will approach him and advise him on the mandatory use. If the problem persists, the driver and/or Unitransp inspector will record the personal data and forward it to the SAE (students) so that user guidance can be provided. The SVC must be informed to record the incident in the system, as well as for security support, if necessary;
- Vehicle hygiene after each trip
- On handholds, handrails and other surfaces where there is constant contact between the hands of passengers and the driver, as recommended by the National Land Transport Agency - ANTT;
- Instruct passengers not to eat food inside the bus;
- This action will be publicized through posters at points and inside vehicles;
- Keeping windows open while traveling:
- In conventional vehicles, without air conditioning, the driver must open all vehicle windows before the start of each trip, whenever possible, for greater air circulation;
- Passengers must cooperate by keeping windows open
- Unitransp will be responsible for monitoring this measure
- Identification of users using transport
- Among the important measures, presenting your identity to the inspector or driver is essential. This is an action that has been standardized for some time
- If the user does not present a document, the inspector may demand that they disembark.
- Reinforcement will be requested in guidance campaigns for the entire community
6) Guidance protocol for the use of external space and in houses (current Faz.es, 1 and 2)
- Organize training for student residents to live safely in housing and public houses.
- Living spaces must be closed until phase 2
- Mandatory use of a mask in external spaces, as long as there is a WHO recommendation.
- Donations of masks to residents on demand.
- Crowds of people are prohibited in all spaces of the home, as long as there is a WHO recommendation to maintain physical distancing.
- make alcohol gel available at the housing entrances.
- send 1 bottle of alcohol gel to each resident (801 official residents)
- request greater supervision in the execution of cleaning services in spaces including handrails, tables, gates and door handles in collective spaces.
- check whether cleaning is being done with hypochlorite. if necessary, request an increase in the frequency with which cleaning is carried out (building cleaning contract).
7) Security protocol (Current Phases, 1 and 2)
* The guidelines for safety on campuses, flows of people, cars, control of living spaces during the COVID-19 Pandemic, are common for the entire University.
* The protocols established by the Working Groups aim at safe planning for the resumption of in-person activities at Unicamp. Failure to comply with these compromises the effectiveness of all planning, in addition to putting at risk not only the health of the University community, but can also contribute to the worsening of public health in general, given the diversity of the population that frequents the Unicamp Campuses if we think about the places of residence, travel, interactions and coexistence of the entire community outside the Unicamp context
* The Housing will receive all the safety guidelines to be adopted for the University. We present in this document two general guidelines and a specific proposal.
1.Physical Distancing
- Gatherings of people are prohibited in all open spaces at Unicamp, as long as the quarantine measure continues within the State of São Paulo and during the validity of the preventive measures adopted by the University to slow the rate of contamination of COVID-19.
- SVC was designated to monitor, record incidents and guide the community in situations of agglomerations that occur in University spaces.
2. Mandatory Use of Masks
- The use of facial protection masks, preferably for non-professional and reusable use, is mandatory in all spaces on the Unicamp Campuses, while the quarantine measure continues within the scope of the State of São Paulo and during the validity of the preventive measures adopted by the University to slow the rate of contamination of COVID-19.
- SVC was designated to monitor, record incidents and guide the community to use this personal protective equipment in University spaces.
3. Tactical Urbanism - Complete Streets: vehicle circulation and flow of people
- To avoid crossing paths and the proximity of people as much as possible during movement, it is necessary to promote practicality, comfort and safety. To achieve this, streets and avenues must have sidewalks, cycle paths or spaces for the circulation of pedestrians and cyclists that comply with the basic public health protocol: physical distancing.
- In this sense, it was identified that the implementation of a Complete Streets proposal would contribute to preventive measures in the transmission of COVID-19.
- The complete street concept brings urban design that aims for safety and comfort for users of all means of transport. The objective is to improve the quality of travel for users, designing streets that are safe public spaces and that allow for sustainable, high-performance transport networks.
- Tactical urbanism is urban design based on low-cost temporary interventions to test and evaluate effectiveness and community acceptance. It allows you to catalyze long-term projects, creating quality public spaces with low investment.
- For Student Housing, private vehicles can enter for loading, unloading, boarding and disembarking people and traffic and parking are free for official vehicles, service vehicles from authorized dealerships and vehicles for people with disabilities. Private vehicles must be parked in internal or external parking spaces in order to free up parking lanes along Ubaldo Marques and Paulo Freire streets for pedestrians and cyclists to move around safely, considering the needs for physical distancing during the pandemic . This intervention must be integrated between the DEPI Integrated Master Plan, the SOS COVID Housing Support group, the Housing Executive Coordination and Housing representatives for evaluation.
- This proposal relies on the planning of Unicamp's Integrated Master Plan, supervision by the Campus Experience Secretariat and partnership with Student Housing.
- The actions necessary to implement this proposal will be discussed, planned and put into practice through another Working Group, to be designated by Ordinance GR.
