White means zero or negligible risk; green, the occurrence of cases without community spread; yellow, beginning community spread; and red, growing or constant community spread. You can learn detail information on the regulation here.

What to do in case of symptoms, high-risk contacts or testing?

Are you currently a MU international student in Brno and you need help with any COVID-19 related issue? Follow the university webpages to be guided through them.

Who can help me if the whole situation is "too much" and I need help?

We know that the current situation may be very stressful, and mental health is as important as the physical one. We, therefore, reached out to the Department of Psychology, asking if some of the teachers/psychologists would be able to provide help to international students if needed, and they agreed. If someone feels like they need to talk to a psychologist, write an email to jana.nesvadbova@econ.muni.cz and she will put you in touch. Consultations are available in English, German, Spanish, and Czech/Slovak.

On this link, you can find some psychological recommendations which we received from the Faculty of Medicine:
