In the present situation, both parties are confident this is the right decision. This also means the central coronavirus group at the University will suspend its activities and this will therefore be the last report published. If necessary, the collaboration and reports will resume both internally and externally.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the University for the fantastic – and often challenging – job you have done. We hope that the stable situation will continue and there will be no need for further collaboration", says Uppsala University's Chief Security Officer Fredrik Blomqvist.
