++++++++++++++++++++++++++++03.11.2021 UPDATE From Saturday 06 November: requirements back in place - face masks, distance and working from home
=== Rules for cultural sector ===
Due to increasing infections, the outgoing cabinet is again introducing some coronavirus measures, which have consequences for us as a university of applied sciences. .....When we sent out the (provisional) latest 'corona update' on 6 October, we did not expect that just less than a month later we would have to meet again as the Central Crisis Management Team (CCMT). Unfortunately, the number of infections and hospitalisations are increasing so fast, that we are once again faced with measures for our buildings.
The organization of any XPUB related event (of educational nature or not) must be discussed with Aymeric and Leslie.
For some of us, it may be difficult to switch back, but to avoid even more measures, we will all have to adhere to the rules.Read on news from the University:  https://www.rotterdamuas.com/go/information-corona/newsitem/coronavirus---the-latest-developments-as-it-relates-to-the-rotterdam-university-of-applied-sciences/165099/

FYI:
From September 25, 2021, it is mandatory to show your corona test results along with your admission ticket to most events. But not everywhere. There are two exceptions that are listed on this page: schools (onderwijs) and regular library events. https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/coronavirus-covid-19/cultuur-uitgaan-en-sport/coronatoegangsbewijs/waar-coronatoegangsbewijs-verplicht

=== Order 💸 FREE 💸 self-tests for STAFF AND STUDENTS ===
"As of 23 March 2022, the Netherlands will virtually return to the ‘old normal’" (weekly/bi-weekly tests are no longer required, some may choose to continue to test weekly, others only when they have symptoms)


On the CoIA channels on social media this has also been posted to inform international students:
You can still order your free self-tests here: https://www.zelftestonderwijs.nl (this portal closed in the summer of 2022)
'''The current recommendation is to test twice a week''' (obviously adjust based on the frequency of your IRL visits). You can order by lots of four, then you need to renew the order.


As of the 25th of September, many places in the Netherlands will require a coronavirus entry pass. You can get a coronavirus entry pass if you are fully vaccinated, have a valid proof of recovery or a negative result from a coronavirus test taken less than 24 hours before entry. Have you been vaccinated outside of the Netherlands, then please visit this website to find out how to get your proof of vaccination: https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-certificate/proof-of-vaccination/vaccinated-outside-the-netherlands

=== Protocol ===
 
In order to offer IRL teaching consistently, we will have to adhere to the rules of the RIVM:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++20.09.2021
* '''First and foremost: stay home and get tested if you have ''any symptoms'' like a head cold, coughing, tightness of breath, fever, sudden loss of smell or taste.'''
From 25 September onwards, almost all measures will be relaxed, and the situation will be more familiar to pre-pandemic times. Please take responsibility for all of the following and respect each other. For some people, it is quite something to gather in our buildings again without the 1.5 metres, and without a face mask. Please respect another, when someone asks for space, keep your distance to the other person. At RUAS we allow each other space.
* '''Self-quarantine and get tested if any of your housemates have symptoms as mentioned above.'''
 
* '''Inform your course director and coordinator'''
No face mask
* In case you must quarantine you will be able to follow teaching online and catch up.  
From 25 September onwards, the use of face masks within our buildings is no longer necessary. Except in certain teaching situations where it is mandatory for safety reasons (e.g., in the lab). If you still feel more comfortable with a face mask on, you may, of course, continue to wear it.
* When at the academy, follow the rules of distance and hygiene (see HR guideline link below)
 
No maximum group size
From 25 September onwards, the maximum number of people meeting in one room will no longer apply.
 
Self-test still necessary
Even after 25 September, you will self-test twice weekly when you travel to school. In case of health complaints, get tested at the GGD.
 
We observe hygiene measures
Even after 25 September, disinfect your hands upon entry, and wash your hands regularly. Sneeze in your elbow.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++05.09.2021
 
International students are eligible for vaccination | please share with your students
If you were not able to get the vaccine in your home country, you can still get vaccinated in Rotterdam. At all Municipal Health Service locations in Rotterdam-Rijnmond, you can now get a vaccination without an appointment. At most locations, you can drop by Monday to Saturday from 9.00 to 16.00 hrs and on Sunday from 10 .00 to 17.00 hrs. A BSN number is not necessary.
You can get your shot without an appointment at the locations that are still open. Through this link you will find an overview of these locations and which vaccines are available. You can specify which kind of shot you want. Please note that some locations are not open all days of the week or will close soon.

HR is involved at two levels in seeing how self-testing can help maintain/expand access to IRL secondary education:
 
    https://www.eur.nl/en/news-calendar/corona/testing-your-future This is an HR + Erasmus only initiative.
    https://www.zelftestonderwijs.nl This is a nationwide effort in which HR is participating
    Both projects aim at testing the potential of self-testing (at home or on-premises) to contribute to the reopening of the buildings on a larger scale as what we have access to now (BTW similar efforts are done in other EU countries, and some countries are also experimenting with this for the cultural sector as well).
    None of the projects is mandatory to join, however, we were encouraged to do so. Both projects will give you access to free self-testing (at home and/or the HR premises).

*from Monday 26.04 onward there can be classes held one day a week. [ I'm hoping this translate into 1-day for both @XPUB2 and @XPUB1 ]
*Tuesday 27.04 is King's day and the building is closed
*Wednesday 28.04 the lockdown officially lifts and both the Blaak and WH buildings will stay open until 10 pm - [out by 21:50]
*-and after the May break the stations will be open until 10 pm as well.
 
*nothing changes for Saturdays, 20 students need to register or the building stays closed.
[register at the WH reception desk or call (010) 794 47 47 before 18:00 the Wednesday before, remember to state your student number if the Saturday doesn't fill you will be nodified via your HR email account on Thursday or Friday]
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++11.02.2021 - quote: communiqué: Curfew  - Workplace  - COVID-19 Protocol


'''Curfew'''
=== XPUB COVID Etiquette ===
*The outgoing cabinet has decided to extend the curfew until 2 March. This means that we will continue our policy since the curfew was introduced: our buildings will close at 19:00 at the latest, giving everyone ample time to return home before 21:00.
Next to the official rules, we would like to take a community-based approach to the situation to ensure everyone feels safe, that we stay in dialogue with each other, and that we can make the most of the time we can be all together on location. These are not rules, it's an etiquette and we welcome the feedback of everyone to improve these.


'''Reporting Covid-19 infection'''
* We trust each other that we will do the necessary self-tests and follow the basic protocol already in place.
*Since last month, reporting Covid-19 infections to the school is completely anonymous and voluntary. We ask you to do this for us to form a picture of the number of infections within Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. In this way, we can monitor possible clusters which we will pass on to the GGD as with the locations and how measures can be taken.
* Staff and students wear masks all the time, per current regulations.
To this end, you can make use of this Hint page. This allows us to safeguard the safety and health of our students and staff in the best way possible.
* Simple ventilation can be quite important in a combined strategy for reducing transmission. We will open at least one window each hour for 10 minutes at the very least. Some staff and students may prefer to teach with the windows open all the time. Adjusting the radiators can help compensate for the cold air. Please wear warm clothes so we can ventilate sufficiently.
This flow chart shows what steps to take when you are or could be infected with Covid-19.
* For one-on-one tutorials, be sure to notify your tutor/supervisor if you want to talk via video chat one day in advance of the tutorial, if possible. That way, if all students prefer video chat, a tutor/supervisor can decide to not travel to WdkA/PZI.
* When having class, we setup a hotline jitsi + pad and use screen sharing de rigueur. This is useful:
** To make clear that a jitsi channel will always be available and to assure students/evt staff who elect to work at a distance (for whatever reason) that they won't miss out / aren't adding any extra work or stress to the group;
** To get used to working in this way if we do need either to quarantine or if we return to state of limited (staff) access to the building.

Aymeric posted this to Zulip and I thought it's something for the lists as there are a lot of alumni, family and friends in living Charlois.
13.01.2021
"just saw this in an email to HR/WdKA staff, not sure who of you may be concerned, but here it is anyway:
 
Lansingerland and Charlois
In the municipality of Lansingerland and in Charlois, all residents will be tested for Covid-19. Some staff and students who live there have asked us whether you must go into quarantine if you have been tested but do not have any symptoms. The RIVM guidelines are clear: if you have no health complaints, you do not have to go into quarantine while waiting for the results. If you do have symptoms, you must stay at home until the result of the test is clear."
 
And I read in the news yesterday, "There is no major corona outbreak in Charlois, as in the South Holland municipality of Lansingerland. There, everyone from the age of two is called upon to be tested, even without complaints. It concerns more than 60,000 residents of Bergschenhoek, Berkel en Rodenrijs and Bleiswijk.
 
30 people infected with the British variant
The 'British variant' was diagnosed in about thirty people from the Rotterdam-Rijnmond region. According to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), those cases are “largely linked” to the outbreak at RKBS Willibrord primary school in Bergschenhoek.
The new version of the coronavirus is more contagious than previous variants of the coronavirus, but the mutation is not known to cause more health damage."
 
It calmed my nerves a bit for all you living and working in Charlois, hope it does yours too.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++02.10.2020
Mandatory Face Masks
*Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences has introduced a face mask requirement. It is compulsory to wear face masks in our public areas (public spaces such as the entrance hall, in corridors, deWillem, hallways, stairwells, restrooms, library, etc. and, including the XPUB studio and the open area where alumni will return). This is to promote clarity and enforceability. To this end, the House Rules have been updated; the Central Representative Board.
 
*This does not apply to classrooms, where the existing safety measures are generally well observed. In the public areas, in addition to the face mask requirement, the rule to keep a distance of 1.5 metres, still applies, of course.
 
*Mayor supports our school policy
In doing so, the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences is following the approach of Ahmed Aboutaleb - not only the mayor but also chairman of the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region - who is clear about the advice to wear face masks. He is pleased with the government's initiative with regard to face masks, but if it is up to him, it should not be restricted to shops and supermarkets, but should also be used in public spaces of buildings where it is effective. The Mayor therefore very much welcomes the school's decision: “In fact, wearing face masks should be the guideline for everyone in the region, for all places where many people gather”.
 
*It is everyone's own responsibility to have a face mask.

XPUB staff and students

Order 💸 FREE 💸 self-tests for STAFF AND STUDENTS

"As of 23 March 2022, the Netherlands will virtually return to the ‘old normal’" (weekly/bi-weekly tests are no longer required, some may choose to continue to test weekly, others only when they have symptoms)

You can still order your free self-tests here: https://www.zelftestonderwijs.nl (this portal closed in the summer of 2022) The current recommendation is to test twice a week (obviously adjust based on the frequency of your IRL visits). You can order by lots of four, then you need to renew the order.

Protocol

In order to offer IRL teaching consistently, we will have to adhere to the rules of the RIVM:

  • First and foremost: stay home and get tested if you have any symptoms like a head cold, coughing, tightness of breath, fever, sudden loss of smell or taste.
  • Self-quarantine and get tested if any of your housemates have symptoms as mentioned above.
  • Inform your course director and coordinator
  • In case you must quarantine you will be able to follow teaching online and catch up.
  • When at the academy, follow the rules of distance and hygiene (see HR guideline link below)

XPUB COVID Etiquette

Next to the official rules, we would like to take a community-based approach to the situation to ensure everyone feels safe, that we stay in dialogue with each other, and that we can make the most of the time we can be all together on location. These are not rules, it's an etiquette and we welcome the feedback of everyone to improve these.

  • We trust each other that we will do the necessary self-tests and follow the basic protocol already in place.
  • Staff and students wear masks all the time, per current regulations.
  • Simple ventilation can be quite important in a combined strategy for reducing transmission. We will open at least one window each hour for 10 minutes at the very least. Some staff and students may prefer to teach with the windows open all the time. Adjusting the radiators can help compensate for the cold air. Please wear warm clothes so we can ventilate sufficiently.
  • For one-on-one tutorials, be sure to notify your tutor/supervisor if you want to talk via video chat one day in advance of the tutorial, if possible. That way, if all students prefer video chat, a tutor/supervisor can decide to not travel to WdkA/PZI.
  • When having class, we setup a hotline jitsi + pad and use screen sharing de rigueur. This is useful:
    • To make clear that a jitsi channel will always be available and to assure students/evt staff who elect to work at a distance (for whatever reason) that they won't miss out / aren't adding any extra work or stress to the group;
    • To get used to working in this way if we do need either to quarantine or if we return to state of limited (staff) access to the building.

The frequency of updates is too high to maintain properly a section that summarizes/synthesizes the essential. It's also duplicate work.
