Dear all,

The Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays are approaching. Whether you plan to return home to visit relatives, travel, or stay on campus, safety is always the foundation for enjoying a happy life. Here are some safety tips for you based on the recent various safety risks.

Traffic Safety Tips

1. Before driving, please ensure your vehicle is in good condition and plan your route according to the weather. The risk of traffic accidents caused by drunk driving is significantly higher during holidays. Please remember, "No drinking and driving." Keep a safe distance from other vehicles, follow speed limits, and avoid driving while tired. In case of an accident, remember to "move the vehicle to the side, evacuate, and call the police immediately" to prevent secondary accidents.

2. When taking public transportation, please choose regular passenger stations and avoid taking illegal unlicensed buses or overloaded vehicles.

Anti-Fraud and Anti-Scam Tips

1. Do not disclose your personal information, bank account details, passwords, or verification codes to strangers. Be vigilant against suspicious calls, text messages, and links. Do not trust them, do not disclose information, and do not transfer money.

Vector-Borne Disease Prevention Tips

Recently, there have been many local cases of chikungunya fever reported in Jiangmen, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Zhaoqing in Guangdong Province. Try to avoid traveling to these areas. When outdoors, wear light-colored long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and apply mosquito repellent with effective ingredients to exposed skin. Install screens on doors and windows in your residence, use mosquito nets and mosquito coils, and promptly clear any standing water in your home to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds.

Safety Tips for Staying on Campus and Returning to Campus

1. Before leaving the campus, please store your personal belongings properly, close the doors and windows of classrooms, offices, and dormitories, and cut off the power supply.

2. Students and staff staying on campus should abide by the university's dormitory management regulations, do not privately connect wires, do not use unauthorized electrical appliances, and pay attention to electrical safety.

3. Before returning to the campus, please pay attention to weather changes and traffic conditions, and leave enough time to avoid safety risks caused by rushing.

Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn and National Day holiday and a safe journey!
