Executive Board message: coronavirus

The area health authority GGD does not currently impose any extra restrictions on TU Delft. Nevertheless, at TU Delft we choose to urge anyone with respiratory complaints, coughing, shortness of breath or fever to stay at home as a precaution – regardless of where you have been and with whom you have been in  contact. We consider this measure necessary in view of our open and international character, in combination with the reality of a student infected with the coronavirus. If you have any of the aforementioned symptoms, please report them to your family doctor by telephone, stay at home and follow your doctor’s instructions.

Existing hygiene measures at TU Delft will also be expanded to include an extra measure, namely that we ask everyone not to shake hands.

Both measures apply to students, staff and visitors to our campus or our events. Finally, TU Delft is counting on students and staff to take responsibility, to help each other and to speak to each other whenever necessary.

The most important measures you can take to prevent the spread of the coronavirus are:

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis
• Use hand alcohol if water and soap are unavailable
• Cough and sneeze in your elbow, not in your hand
• Use paper tissues and throw them away immediately
• Do not shake hands

Stay at home if you have symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, fever and/or lung problems and contact your family doctor by telephone.
