At a time when others are allowed to go on winter vacation, we are very happy on behalf of the students that they now have access to reading rooms and areas on campus. It means a lot to their everyday study life, says Rector Svein Stølen at the University of Oslo.
Infection control
The government emphasised the importance of general infection control – please see more information: Infection prevention measures - University of Oslo (uio.no)
If you suspect that you might be infected with Covid-19, or if you have any symptoms, please see information: Suspected or confirmed illness - University of Oslo (uio.no)
Now that we are reopening the buildings, we must be responsible and adhere to infection control rules and regulations. We must do what we can to prevent any Covid-19 outbreaks at UiO, says Stølen.
