A central emergency preparedness group has been set up to follow the development of the pandemic. The group will communicate with students and staff through many channels – including the university website,
www.nih.no, which will be regularly updated.
Norges idrettshøgskole does not expect to have to cancel lectures and other events. We will be installing dispensers with disinfectant wet wipes at various places. Normal cleaning will be intensified.

- Wash your hands often with soap and water, particularly if you cough or sneeze
- Disinfectants (antibac) are also effective
- Cough or sneeze in the crook of your arm if you don’t have paper tissues available
- Restrict close contact with people who are ill. If you are sick, you must keep your distance from others to avoid spreading the disease
- Instead of shaking hands with others, give them a pat on the shoulder or find other ways of greeting them!
