• A world-class research laboratory in the Diliman campus, the UP Philippine Genome Center, deployed its advanced DNA sequencing and bioinformatics services to help understand the virus better and identify therapies for COVID-19 patients, in pursuit of its mission to translate knowledge into applications beneficial to all Filipinos.
  

• UP Diliman organized and trained contact tracers, conducted research to track the progress of the virus, and ran public information campaigns to better inform citizens.
  

• Different alumni groups launched fundraising drives to benefit, in particular, the surrounding communities, wage-earners, and informal workers paralyzed by the lockdowns, and students struck by hardships in shifting to remote and virtual classes.
  

• The University Health Service expanded support programs for students, faculty and staff through free swab tests for those symptomatic or had close-contact exposure, free medicines and lab tests for urgent medical cases; and discounts on specialized tests.

Daloy ng Hangin, Daloy ng Proseso

1. Kumonsulta ang UP Diliman COVID-19 Task Force sa mechanical engineer upang mas tiyakin pa ang maayos na daloy ng hangin (ventilation) sa loob ng gym. Batay sa kanyang abiso, nagkaroon pa ng mga karagdagang bentilidarosa mga piling lugar.
   

2. Kumonsulta rin ang Task Force sa Industrial Engineer upang ayusin ang daloy ng pagbabakuna. Ayon sa kanyang abiso, inayos ang layout ng mga estasyon upang mas mapabilis at maayos ang proseso.
   

3. Ipatutupad ang mga health and safety protocols tulad ng tamang pagsusuot ng facemask, face shield, at madalas na paglinis ng mga bagay, mesa, at iba pang "common surfaces." Ang mga magtuturok sa inyo ay nagdi-disinfect ng kamaya bago kayo bigyan ng bakuna. Siya nga pala, hindi po required ang pagsuot ng gloves sa magtuturok.

Ayon sa CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sa U.S.A.)

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations do not require gloves to be worn when administering vaccinations, unless persons administering vaccinations have open lesions on their hands or are likely to come into contact with a patient’s body fluids (2). If worn, gloves should be changed between patients.
