UM & COVID-19

Phase 1: Dark green

To keep education open for as long as possible if the number of COVID infections increases, it is important that basic hygiene measures to prevent the spread of viruses are observed. The measures in the dark green scenario are therefore always applicable.

The dark green scenario is based on a situation where COVID-19 has the same impact as a cold virus. There will be no immediate need to take measures specifically for education, other than the society-wide commitment to prevention by following basic hygiene measures.

These basic measures include:

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

Wellbeing 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.
