Urgent call: stick to the coronavirus measures

Koen Schuiling, mayor of Groningen and chairman of the Groningen Safety Region, Jouke de Vries, President of the University of Groningen, and Henk Pijlman, President of Hanze University of Applied Sciences, urge all students in Groningen to comply with the applicable corona rules.
