From experts in Occupational Risk Prevention and from the University of Navarra, and following all of the recommendations produced by the national health authorities, we are working to establish a protocol of action that will prevent the transmission of the coronavirus and will be implemented in all of the colegios mayores of the Alumni College Program in the upcoming 20/21 academic year. Our principle objective is to maintain our colegios mayores as Covid-free zones so that our residents feel at home and secure in a protected space, while also being able to enjoy their university life with as few changes as possible.
For now, we will outline below the general prevention measures that are already being implemented in our colegios mayores. As soon as possible we will send out details regarding more specific measures and we will also publish the detailed protocol.

CORONAVIRUS: GENERAL PREVENTION MEASURES
With the objective of firmly avoiding the transmission of COVID-19 and producing another spike in the disease, we highly recommend applying these general prevention measures. Act in solidarity for the good of the entire colegio mayor.
PHYSICAL DISTANCING
Maintain the physical distance of standing at least 1.5 meters apart.
FACE MASK
If it is not possible to maintain physical distance, use a protective face mask.
CLEAN HANDS
Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, at least for 40 seconds.
HAND SANITIZER
If it is not possible to wash your hands with soap and water, use hand sanitizer.
PHYSICAL CONTACT
Avoid handshakes, hugs, and kisses. Also try to avoid crowds.

Do not share personal objects such as phones, books, water-bottles, etc.
