"The situation is potentially large-scale, so everyone who has been on Campus Kristiansand in recent days should be extra aware of the smallest symptoms", says emergency manager Jan Egil Heinecke.

On site coronavirus testing facilities make it easy to get tested. In addition to receiving the results quickly, you will also get a green corona certificate - if you test negative, that is.  

On Friday 20 August, the testing centre at Spicheren will take rapid tests from 09:00 to 11:00.  

In addition, Kristiansand Municipality's mobile test centre will be on campus in front of the main entrance from 11:00 to 14:00. 

Vaccination 

Kristiansand and Grimstad municipalities want students to be vaccinated against the virus.
