In light of the rising incidence of communicable diseases, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) underscores the importance of following strict health and safety protocols across all academic and administrative units. 

Per Memo 215, s. 2025, members of the TAU community are enjoined to observe preventive measures such as regular handwashing, good respiratory hygiene, proper ventilation in classrooms and offices, and immediate quarantine for sick individuals. Vaccination and participation in health information drives are strongly encouraged to minimize risks and safeguard the well-being of everyone.

The University highlights several diseases of concern, including influenza, measles, shingles, leptospirosis, hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD), and chickenpox. These illnesses may be transmitted through droplets, contaminated water, or direct contact with infected fluids, and are characterized by symptoms such as fever, rashes, cough, and body aches.

All suspected or confirmed cases must be reported immediately to the TAU Medical and Dental Unit for monitoring, in coordination with the Department of Health (DOH) and local authorities. 

TAU urges the entire community to strictly adhere to these guidelines to reduce disease transmission, ensure continuity of instruction and services, and foster a safe and healthy learning environment.
