Re: Students Laboratory Activities (3rd official communication)

��In order to prevent further spread of the coronavirus disease, the suspension of laboratory activities that had been announced until May 6, is being extended until June 30.
��However, master��s program students, expected to graduate from KIT in September 2020, and doctoral program students are allowed to conduct experiments and other laboratory activities, provided that they avoid the ��3Cs�� �C Confined spaces, Crowded places and Close contact. Students should conduct any activities following the instructions of their supervisors.
��Other laboratory activities, such as seminars and research workshops, will be conducted online using Moodle and other systems. Students should follow the instructions of their supervisors.
��As previously communicated, this does not hinder or prevent the minimum number of the necessary activities such as maintenance of cultured cells, experimental animals and laboratory equipment.

��Decision on extension of this measure will be made in the end of May. In the event that this measure is to be lifted before June 30, a new announcement will follow.
