Compulsory wearing of face masks

The COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act will enter into force from December 1st. It covers matters such as the compulsory wearing of face masks in indoor public spaces such as shops, museums, restaurants and theatres. The government will say more about this in the near future.

Testing

From 1 December 2020 you will be able to get a test if you have no symptoms but are at an increased risk of having been infected. For example, if the CoronaMelder app sends you a notification about an infection risk, or if you have been identified as part of contact tracing efforts. From the moment you are notified you will need to self-isolate. After five days you can be tested. If the result is negative you no longer need to self-isolate.

More info on Government.nl.

Mondkapjes dragen verplicht 

Vandaag, 1 december 2020 gaat de tijdelijke wet maatregelen COVID-19 in. Dan gaat onder andere een mondkapjesplicht gelden in publieke binnenruimtes zoals winkels, musea, restaurants en theaters. Het kabinet zal daar binnenkort verder over communiceren.

Corona test

Vanaf vandaag kan iemand ook getest worden als hij of zij geen klachten heeft, maar wel risico heeft gelopen op een besmetting. Dus als de CoronaMelder-app een melding geeft over een besmettingsrisico, of als iemand naar voren komt uit het bron- en contactonderzoek. Vanaf dat moment gaat diegene in quarantaine. Na 5 dagen kan hij of zij zich laten testen en bij een negatieve test kan de quarantaine worden opgeheven.

The government has decided to introduce a temporary reinforcement for the next two weeks, on top of the current partial lockdown. Fortunately, there are no new measures for education. Unfortunately, libraries do have to close their doors. The good news is that this does not apply to our Library, because it is rightly considered a study environment.

The university will therefore continue to provide limited physical education on campus as planned, and actively seek more good study places, such as in the Library and at various organisations. We’re also applying the same measures we’ve had in place since the last press conference, namely:

• take responsibility, both for yourself and for others
• abide by the RIVM measures
• wear a face mask if you move around the campus and inside buildings
• follow the walking routes on campus.

The temporary aggravation mainly affects our leisure time. With our e-Health tool you can follow free, anonymous and independent programmes to get a better balance on your (study) life and to improve your mental health.

Het kabinet heeft besloten om voor de komende 2 weken, bovenop de huidige gedeeltelijke lockdown, een tijdelijke verzwaring in te stellen.

Voor het onderwijs zijn er gelukkig geen nieuwe maatregelen. De bibliotheken moeten helaas wel hun deuren sluiten, maar dit geldt niet voor onze Library, omdat die terecht als studieomgeving wordt gezien. We blijven dus beperkt fysiek onderwijs geven op de campus zoals gepland en zoeken actief mee naar meer goede studieplekken, zoals in de Library en bij verschillende organisaties. We hanteren verder dezelfde maatregelen sinds de vorige persconferentie, namelijk:

• neem je verantwoordelijkheid, voor jezelf en voor anderen
• houd je aan de RIVM-maatregelen
• draag een mondkapje als je je door de gebouwen heen verplaatst
• volg de looproutes in de gebouwen

De tijdelijke verzwaring heeft vooral invloed op  onze vrije tijd. Met onze e-Health tool kun je kosteloos, anoniem en zelfstandig programma’s volgen om meer grip op je (studie)leven te krijgen en om je mentale gezondheid te verbeteren.
