The autumn term is approaching and then Karolinska Institutet (KI), where doctors are trained, will reopen.

Now the principal Ole Petter Ottersen makes a statement about how KI should handle the situation.

“There is no one-size-fits-all solution for reopening the university campus. On the contrary ”.

“We also recommend the use of mouth guards in situations where it may be difficult or impossible to maintain physical distance. Thus, we take the position that the effectiveness of mouth guards can no longer be questioned ”.

He makes the statement on his blog.

Return to campus must be done in a safe and responsible manner. Security is completely linked to responsibility, he writes.

Karolinska Institutet accounts for the single largest share of medical academic research and has the largest range of medical educations in Sweden.
