- How do I organise my quarantine?
- During this period contact with other people, including people in the same house, must be completely avoided (always keep a distance of 1,5 m). If possible, use a different sanitary unit.
- If you rent a (student) studio or a (student) apartment, there is no problem with quarantine. You use private facilities and you are able to keep your distance from others and you use your own towels, bed linen, tableware, cutlery, kitchen utensils, …
- If you rent a student room with shared facilities, contact your landlord to check whether it’s possible to assign you a toilet and shower during your quarantine. Make arrangements with your fellow students so you don’t use the kitchen when other people are there. You can also get food delivered or ask your fellow students to cook for you and put it in front of your door. Make sure you bring your own cutlery and kitchen utensils. You can also opt for a stay in a hotel or a single room at a youth hostel during your quarantine.
