LiU guidelines and decisions

(11 January 2021) Stricter restrictions are in place at Linköping University, following further national restrictions introduced by the government to stop the spread of infection. They will be in force until 24 January, and may be extended after this. The stricter restrictions are not a return to full distance mode, but they stipulate that no one may be on campus unless it is absolutely necessary. Thus, for example, individual study in the library or any other building on campus is not permitted. Students and co-workers are to work from home.
