Recommendations on how to minimise the spreading of COVID-19

Uppsala University’s latest COVID-19-report (7 May)

• Don’t organise or attend parties where you meet people from outside your own household!
• If you have any symptoms at all – have a test!
• Follow the general recommendations! Everyone knows what these involve and what to do.
• The most important recommendation is this: maintain a physical distance (2 metres) to other people!

Irresponsible behaviour may ultimately mean that we have to close our campus areas.

On 13 April the Vice-Chancellor decided to extend current restrictions until 30 June 2021.

In short, this decision means that:

• Students are urged to study at home
• Online forms of teaching and assessment must be used wherever possible
• In-person teaching and assessment will be limited 
• Exemptions to allow particular teaching components or assessments to take place in person may be granted by the chair of a faculty board/disciplinary domain board
• Employees, others working at the University and students will normally require an access card for entry to the University’s premises
   

Are you infected?

You should primarily contact the course or programme coordinator for your programme/department. 

Stay at home and follow the current guidelines on COVID-19 and the Region Uppsala Infection Control Unit (or the Region Gotland Infection Control Unit) instructions.

To further facilitate contact tracing and reduce the risk of the infection spreading you should also, anonymously, report if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
