COVID-19
18 March 2020
The Spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is the most serious global health security threat in decades. Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the outbreak, and we are deeply grateful to the thousands of healthcare workers who are on the frontlines helping their communities!
We understand that because of the new measures we are entering a phase that affects our education and research. We are working on solving possible bottlenecks that may arise from these measures and we are reviewing all ArtEZ activities and processes, in education, research and operational management. Naturally, the health and safety of our students and employees is paramount, which is why we also ask you to explicitly follow the guidelines of the RIVM and the cabinet.
In the effort to keep our communities safe, we will follow all guidlines as presented by the Dutch authorities and the RIVM.
Research activities have to be limited to non-human-contact, however, let's keep informed and stay in touch to keep building what we have been working on for such a long time.
Finally, all of us are now in need of exceptional efforts and adjustments.
We are convinced that together, in good cooperation, and in good consultation, we will properly manage the consequences of the coronavirus outbreak.
