Students working at the UMCG are obliged to wear a surgical mouth mask from Friday. The measure applies for an indefinite period of time.
The mouth mask is necessary because the trainees, interns and temporary employees are much more often infected with the corona virus than the nursing staff or doctors. Of the group of people who tested positive, 60 percent are students.
According to the UMCG, there is a real risk that students will spread the virus to patients and other employees. The measure applies to all students who work at the UMCG. It also means that, among other things, trainees in the finance department must wear a mouth mask.
