COVID-19 INFORMATION

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus, which means this virus has not been found before. However, we know that the virus transmits mainly via (a) direct contact with droplets from an infected person; and (b) indirect contact by touching contaminated surfaces where the virus can survive for a short time.

Since the safety and wellbeing of our staff, students and visitors are our highest priority we postponed all events on the university level.
