Coronavirus - policies and procedures

Cautious reopening of campus

Reopening of campus

From 10 August the main workplace for employees will be on campus.

Autumn semester 2020

NTNU will facilitate campus attendance with a combination of digital lectures, group activities and academic meetings.

The university-wide infection control measures in place mean that it is not possible for students or staff to plan for “business as usual”. The number of students in classrooms must be halved compared to their pre-coronavirus levels, as best we can tell. This will affect all activities on campus.

Advice and measures for all

To what extent should I keep a distance to other people?
Practise hand hygiene – use hand sanitizers when hand washing is not possible. Hand washing is the more efficient of the two.
Good habits for coughing and sneezing: Use a paper tissue in front of your mouth and nose, or cough/sneeze into the crook of your elbow.
Avoid contact with people who are ill.
Ensure proper food hygiene.

All employees and students are encouraged to follow advice from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
