UM & COVID-19

Phase IV: Red

To keep education going there are 4 phases of measures to reduce infections.

If the number of infections increases, the virus will first transition into 'Phase II Green'. If infections continue to increase, 'Phase III: Orange' and 'Phase IV Red' will follow.

In ' Phase IV Red' the following measures will apply:

Wash your hands often and thoroughly, using water and soap

Cough or sneeze into your elbow

Symptoms? Stay at home and do a test

Ensure a good flow of fresh air

Get a vaccine, booster, or repeat jab

Additional measures

Use a self-test twice a week to protect yourself and others
Extra attention to high-risk groups for severe symptoms from COVID-19 and the social function of education
Educational institutions are open but with far-reaching contact-reducing measures such as walking routes and wearing face masks
Maximum 50% capacity of students and teachers in rooms and on site
Maximum spread of teaching activities across time and space
Working from home is advised for employees
Spread teaching activities across the day, outdoors where possible

Well-being in times of COVID-19

For some students and staff, the corona crisis can be a challenging time. Within UM, there are many initiatives, activities and programmes that can contribute to your well-being. Students will get a quick and efficient insight into the large number of support services through this infographic. Employees who encounter problems are encouraged to discuss this directly with their manager.

Travel & international mobility

International travel for students and staff
UM looks beyond national borders in terms of research and education. In doing so, UM takes into account government guidelines and general travel advice issued by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Guidelines for study-related travel for UM students can be found here. Staff can find the Guidelines for business trips for employees here on intranet.

Work and study from home

In Phase IV Red, we all work and study from home again. In doing so, we all need to adapt both our work and our home situation, and balance our work and private lives. In order to support you, we will provide you with information about working and studying from home if this measure is put into place.
