Safety is top priority for NC State Prague and students are equipped with resources and contact information on a variety of health and safety tools. Prague’s healthcare system is high-quality and most medical professionals speak English. During the pre-departure phase and on-site orientation, students are provided with a list of healthcare options, from routine care to emergency response, all covered by GeoBlue insurance.

With the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff in mind, new precautions were  implemented at the NC State European Center in Prague during the COVID pandemic. Guidelines were developed based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. Guidelines will be continuously re-evaluated and updated as the situation progresses/adapts in the future. The following precautions have been implemented to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 at NC State Prague:

• Class sizes will remain small, with space to accommodate social distancing.
• Hand sanitizer and disposable wipes will be provided to students and readily available in all classrooms.
• Classrooms will be cleaned frequently, with special attention given to high traffic areas and frequently touched surfaces.
• Student housing facilities and rooms will be cleaned regularly, with cleaning supplies provided on each floor.
• A contactless thermometer will be provided on every floor of the student residence building.
• Single suites will be reserved for students who may need to quarantine. Contactless delivery of food and supplies will be arranged for any quarantined student(s).
