Bei einem Patienten war die Infektion bereits vor der Verlegung nach Düsseldorf bestätigt. Bei der zweiten Person aus dem engen persönlichen Umfeld des Patienten liegt nun auch ein positives Testergebnis vor. Das UKD steht über den Verlauf der Erkrankungen im engen Kontakt mit den Gesundheitsbehörden und Ministerien, die auch zu Neuigkeiten in Bezug auf diesen Erreger informieren.
Das Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) schätzt die Gefahr für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung in Deutschland auch nach den heute vorliegenden Informationen als gering bis mäßig ein. Dennoch empfiehlt die Hochschulleitung vorsorglich, dass alle Personen nach einer kürzlich angetretenen Chinareise für 14 Tage zuhause bleiben – und etwaige dienstliche Aufgaben wenn möglich von dort aus wahrnehmen. Grundsätzlich sollten alle, bei denen eine ansteckende grippeähnliche Erkrankung vorliegt, davon absehen, zur Universität zu kommen.

I’d like to share with you the English translation of our position paper Disintossichiamoci–Sapere per il Futuro, published a week ago on the largest academic discussion website in Italy, that quikly exceeded 1000 subscriptions from all areas of the country and from all disciplines. Also some foreign colleagues gave us their valuable support. It is very encouraging and allows us to aim high.

The week, which reminded […]

Judith Donath, a BKC advisor, urged those in attendance to identify “cause vs. blame” when talking about the internet. Beyond external evaluation, she said a deeper question for everyone to consider is why the truth is important to their own self interest.
