3. Chulalongkorn University students and staff who might suspect that they have contracted COVID-19 from the students should undergo preliminary online risk assessment by accessing http://bkkcovid19.bangkok.go.th/.  If it is determined that they are at high risk, then they should receive screening at the Chulalongkorn University Health Service Center immediately by calling 0-2218-0568 or the hotline at 09-1761-0988.
