The Chancellor of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) handed over 20 units of GeNose C-19 to the deans at UGM.
Prof. Panut Mulyono, UGM Chancellor, symbolically handed over the Covid-19 screening to the Dean of the UGM Faculty of Agriculture, Dr. Jamhari, as the UGM deans’ representatives, on Monday (15/2) at the Chancellor’s living room.
The UGM Chancellor revealed that UGM distributed GeNose to the Faculty/School, each unit equipped with a HEPA filter and 100 plastic bags/balloons. Hopefully, GeNose could help assist the Covid-19 screening efforts around the campus environment.
“We hope that GeNose can be useful in the limited-offline activities at the faculties such as anniversaries, guest meetings, and others,” he said.
Meanwhile, to support the independent utilization of GeNose in faculties and schools, UGM will later facilitate GeNose standard operation training at the UGM Science Techno Park (STP). Besides, there was also medical waste treatment training for GeNose products.
Dr. Jamhari, as the Dean of the UGM Faculty of Agriculture, welcomed the GeNose handover by the university. Hopefully, every UGM faculty and the school can independently screen for Covid-19 detection rapidly in the future.
“GeNose distribution aims to help faculties for Covid-19 screening in several special activities. Besides, it is also a form of preparation for the online-offline blend lectures later,” Jamhari explained.
Jamhari said that the faculty carried out the Covid-19 screening process outside the campus all this time. The results also took time in a few days, which may cause anxiety for us.
“By having our own GeNose at the faculty, we can conduct screening more quickly to create a sense of safety and convenience for the academic community in the faculty environment,” he explained.
