The COVID-19 epidemic has worsened rapidly around the world. Although Taiwan is still in control due to the strict policies, it is essential to respond to the epidemic in advance without any delay while facing a fast-changing situation.

CPU planned off-site work simulations on 19th and 26th of March, and the actual drill for work from home on 31rd of March. The purpose of this exercise is to avoid from possible problems.

There were 62 faculty members participated in the drill of off-site work located on campus in different building and different floors. There are eight work places in total, 34 percent of stationing rate. The testing points include environmental facility condition, information system, documentation and meal service distribution. The vice president and supervisors checked each place one by one to make sure everything is well prepared.

One of faculty members from different sections was selected to join the drill of working from home.
