The vice-chancellor, Prof Mohd Azraai Kassim, said the precautionary measure was aimed at avoiding any possibility and in ensuring that all involved are protected.
Azraai said all those present at the event, including himself, had undergone screening and are observing the 14-day quarantine from today.
He urged everyone in the university to stay calm and be resilient.
