Sonja started with practical information. She urged everyone to enter KTH's emergency number on the mobile and learn which number to call. Have you not done so yet? Please do it now!

She also reminded us of necessary precautions, such as not letting strangers into our premises and not clicking on unknown links in e-mails.
