[Mitarbeiter.zoologie] Lab meeting tomorrow, Wednesday 08:30

[Sara Hellström]

Dear all,

if I could give an input, I would suggest that *only the academics meet *and
discuss what measures should be taken. You can after that inform the rest
of us via email, since we lack the authority to take these types of
decisions anyway. I attach the WHO document "Getting your workplace ready
for COVID-19".

Of course, anyone who can work from home should do so. For those of us who
are conducting experiments, I trust that you will device a plan for how we
can continue to work safely, or decide if we should suspend all activities
for the time being.


Best
Sara
