 Covid-19 management

• Hold on to the good habits

  We have to get used to the everyday lives we had before, and for some, this can feel a bit unsafe – especially if you come from a country with a more restrictive approach to controlling the pandemic.

  Therefore, VIA recommends that all students and staff exercise good covid-habits when going to campus:

  • Stay home if you are feeling ill – this includes “just having a cold”
  • Focus on hygiene, ventilation and sanitation
  • Follow authority guidelines if you have covid-19 symptoms, see them at en.coronasmitte.dk
  • VIA’s locations will be cleaned at the level from before the pandemic. Paper and sanitizer are available through out campuses. Please clean surfaces before leaving a room.

• Procedure for students with covid-19

  As covid-19 is no longer considered a critical illness, you should act as you otherwise would if you are sick and not able to go to class. This means that you should notify the people you usually do when you are sick.

  International students may contact Global Engagement at international@via.dk all weekdays with acute inquiries.

  Symptoms of covid-19

  If you experience symptoms of covid-19 it is important that you stay at home.

• Procedure for close contacts

  If you have been in contact with someone who has Covid-19, there is a risk that the virus has been transmitted to you. Read more about when you are considered a close contact or secondary contact - and what to if you are - at the Danish Health Auhority's website.

  Recommendations change all the time, so make sure to always check authority website for the latest news.

• How to get tested

  Danish authorities recommends getting tested only if there is a specific health related reason to do so - e.g. people over the age of 65, being pregnant or otherwise at risk of getting seriously ill from a covid-19 infection.

  Go to the official authority website to get more information on how to get tested whether you have a Danish CPR number or not.

  In Denmark, COVID-19 testing is free of charge.

  If you test positive, you must follow authority guidelines, inform VIA and self-isolate. Find authority guidelines here.
