“As a rector of Masaryk University and at the same time a doctor, for whom health always comes first, I decided to grant the rector's leave at a time when it is absolutely necessary in face of the current situation. No disease has been reported in the South Moravian Region to date. Yet, from the outset of this difficult situation, the University has adopted measures that allow health protection while maintaining its function. We will do everything from the university level so that students can properly complete the semester if the situation allows. Various solutions are being considered, including extending the semester to summer holidays, ”said rector Bareš.
