We are confident in KTH’s handling of the coronavirus

THS: WE ARE CONFIDENT IN KTH’S HANDLING OF THE CORONAVIRUS

During the morning I’ve taken part in a meeting with the leadership of KTH regarding the handling of the coronavirus. My impression is that education is being highly prioritized and the intention is to find solutions so that course activities, lectures, exams and so on can still happen to the largest possible degree, even if that means it occurs by other means than we are used to.

KTH will later today come out with information regarding what will be happening and in the near future. KTH are well aware there will be consequences for this stretching well into the future. My impression so far has been that everyone is and will be doing their absolute best to mitigate these consequences for students. I ask for your patience and understanding that it is very hard to give concrete information about the future at the moment and that the most urgent issues are being prioritized.

Take care of yourselves, stay home if you are sick and keep updated on how THS is working with the virus through ths.kth.se/corona

Best regards,

Elisabet Lövkvist, THS President
