As the number of infections during the week from 2 to 8 August averaged more than 50 per 100,000 inhabitants across the entire Brussels territory, the Brussels Government decided that from Wednesday 15 August onwards it will be compulsory to wear a mouth and nose mask in all public places and places accessible to the public throughout the Brussels Region, and this for everyone aged twelve years or older.
We are halfway through the summer. The August exams are approaching. Some of you might have enjoyed or might still be enjoying a well-deserved holiday abroad. In the meantime, we are faced with a resurgence of the corona virus covid-19. In order to prevent the virus from spreading, strict government measures apply with regard to departure to and return from abroad. We ask each of you to comply with these regulations. It is necessary that each one of us takes his or her responsibility and follows up the measures in order to ensure that the virus is contained.
In a few weeks, if all goes well, numerous international students will arrive (back) at our university to study in one of our English-taught programmes or as an exchange student. Due to the coronavirus, many of them will have to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.
