Kadans wants to keep working in their buildings safe for both tenants and visitors. In order to do so, measures have been taken in the buildings and a set of instructions apply, based on the instruction lined up by the RIVM. The basic instructions are:
- Feel welcome in our building and act responsibly
- If you have a sore throat, cough, fever and/or other flu-like symptoms: stay home!
- It is advised to give each other space
- Follow the instructions and follow the signage
- Follow the indicated walking routes
- Use the lift as indicated, take the stairs if possible
- Wash your hands regularly
You can download a flyer with these instructions here.
