The corona outbreak at Mälardalen University is linked to a number of parties held during the autumn.

The parties have been organized outside the school.

The vast majority of those infected are not from Sörmland, but since the school's education is held in both cities, measures are being implemented in both Eskilstuna and Västerås.

- There are four educational programs in the field of economics that are affected and we have put all of them on a full-time distance from yesterday and two weeks ahead, says Malin Gunnarsson, Deputy Head of Administration at Mälardalen University.

What do you say about the outbreak being traced to student parties?

-

It is deeply unfortunate that this is happening.

Throughout the pandemic period, we have repeatedly had information for both students and staff that you need to stay home if you feel you have symptoms.
