Report this to your supervisor or study advisor. If you have a specific question in relation to your work or study and the coronavirus, discuss it with your supervisor or study advisor.

For current travel advice for other areas, please visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in Dutch); take this advice seriously.

Personal hygiene
In general, it is always advisable for everyone to maintain personal hygiene by frequently and properly washing your hands, coughing and sneezing into your elbow (not your hands), and using paper handkerchiefs.

On student news you can access the latest, regularly updated FAQs on the coronavirus, the precautionary measures being taken at TU Delft, and the contact details for further information.

We all experience stress now and then. It is part of our lives and has a function as it helps us to perform. There’s nothing wrong with working hard and having ambition; go for it! But what if it is too much? You probably know about mindfulness apps and self-help books. Maybe even use them. They do however only control the symptoms. The underlying question is much more important: why do you experience stress? And why is it so hard to talk about it?

Interactive Theatre Play
On 17 and 18 March, you can attend the interactive theatre play Time Out. In this play, professional actors start a dialogue about the early signs and possible solutions. It will help you recognize signals of a burn-out and lowers the threshold to talk about the subject. It will truly be a heart- and eye opener.

Afterwards, make sure to join the cafe. There, you will have the possibility to talk about the play, have a drink and get more information about dealing with stress.

Do You Need Time Out?
Come by on 17 or 18 March! Attend the play especially made for Bachelors on 17 March, performed in Dutch, or join the one directed at Master students on 18 March, performed in English.

Free entrance
19:30 – 21:00 Time Out Theatre play
21:00 – 22:00 Cafe

This theater play is brought to you by ESA, X TU Delft, ORAS, Studium Generale and Stichting TIME OUT.

What can you do to prevent the spread of viruses, such as the Corona virus? Adopting some simple hygiene measures can help, such as the ones most of us are already familiar with:

• washing hands regularly;
• coughing and sneezing into the elbow, not into the hands;
• using disposable tissues and throwing them away.

People who choose to also wear masks over their mouths do so to help reduce the chance of being infected by random viruses. This is quite common in Asian countries, and you may have noticed students, colleagues or passers-by who have chosen to take this preventative measure. It’s worth bearing in mind that, since it is a preventative measure, wearing a mask is not a sign of someone being ill but rather of a healthy person taking steps to remain so. Let’s all continue to look after our health and each other!

If you have any questions, please contact your study advisor. You can also consult the regularly updated frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Corona virus, the precautionary measures being taken at TU Delft, and the contact details for further information.

The TU Delft campus will be completely smoke-free as of 1 August 2020. This means that smoking will be banned throughout the campus. A map of the smoke-free area as of 1 August 2020 is shown below. The ban is valid 24/7 and will also apply to e-cigarettes. The smoking facilities on the campus will be removed before 1 August 2020. Smoking had already been banned in most of the buildings.

The smoking ban applies to all teaching sites in the Netherlands. This nationwide ban represents another step towards a smoke-free generation. The smoking ban is in line with the broader TU Delft policy aiming to create a healthy work and study environment.

Want to quit smoking?
Smokers are warmly invited to use this momentum to help them quit smoking. In the next few months, TU Delft will encourage and help staff and students in their attempts to kick the habit. For more info: go to www.tudelft.nl/ikstop
