State of exceptional circumstances in the Rommel

Due to the current pandemic, which caused our government to declare an emergency, Rommelwood e.V. and the home management are also taking measures to protect the residents. This may represent deprivation of many kinds, whether it’s lunch in the cafeteria or a board game evening.
Please don’t despair and keep calm! Our sanity brought us to university and that is exactly what will lead us out of this crisis. If we follow the recommendations of the medical experts, we will avert worse things and overcome this crisis.
Please do not ignore the warnings and take care of yourself, your neighbors and roommates.
