The newest results of the waste water monitoring survey led by the University of Tartu show a continuing decrease in the coronavirus amount in wastewater. Only the results of Ida-Viru County considerably differ from the general picture: the virus level there is five times higher than the average in Estonia.

The university’s orienteering month – May – is about to end, but as the initiative has attracted much interest, the orienteering course will remain open until 6 June. The university invites all employees, students, alumni and their families as well everyone else to orienteering in the city of Tartu. Come to discover places where the university family has done exercise and sports since the early 19th century!

The newest results of the waste water monitoring study led by the University of Tartu show a stable yet very slow decrease in the coronavirus levels. There are fewer samples with very high levels of virus, but the virus has not completely disappeared from any region.

This week’s results of the waste water monitoring study led by the University of Tartu show a decrease in coronavirus levels. The results of the analysis show that in several Estonian settlements, the concentration of virus in waste water is back to a low level. At the same time, researchers acknowledge that the amount of virus in the waste water is still considerable. The situation is particularly worrying in some of the larger towns in Ida-Viru County, where the amount of virus in waste water continues to be above the Estonian average.

Despite the government’s decision to allow face-to-face studies also in higher education starting from 17 May, the university continues work as previously planned. Decisions about the organisation of studies continue to be made by the head of institute in cooperation with the vice dean for academic affairs. The only change is that the requirement not to exceed 25% room capacity has been lifted. The allowed percentage of room capacity is to be decided by the head of institute.

The Office of Academic Affairs in cooperation with the Student Union have chosen the new course registration start time. Based on the results of the survey conducted, registration will start at 21:00.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu show an increase in coronavirus levels. Samples with high virus concentration have been collected all over Estonia, which is why precautions to prevent the spread of the virus must be taken very seriously everywhere.

This week’s results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu indicate that the concentration of coronavirus in waste water has remained rather stable over the past few weeks. Compared to the modest decrease in the Estonian average indicators, Harju County stands out by a somewhat quicker decrease in coronavirus level in the waste water.

Coronavirus concentration in wastewater has decreased to a moderate level in many regions in Estonia. The number of samples with very high concentration has dropped by a third in a week.

According to the recently updated Web of Science citations database, the University of Tartu now also ranks in the one percent of the world’s most highly cited research institutions in the field of materials science. This is the thirteenth field of research in which the University of Tartu belongs among the top institutions.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu confirm a persistent yet very slow decline in the coronavirus levels. There is still a large amount of virus in wastewater samples all over Estonia and achieving a moderate level can still take weeks.

Throughout May, the university invites all employees, students, alumni and their families to orienteering in the city of Tartu. The spring orienteering course, compiled by the university museum, focuses on places related to sports and recreation. Did you know that according to architect Krause’s initial floor plans there was supposed to be a fencing hall on the ground floor of the main building? If not, come orienteering and find out other exciting sports-related facts about the university.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu reveal that the concentration of coronavirus in samples taken from larger cities of Estonia has started to decline. However, the virus is widely spread all over Estonia and still abundant in the wastewater, so the situation does not seem to be easing just yet.

This week the results of the wastewater study led by the University of Tartu show again an increase in the spread of the coronavirus. The amounts of virus have increased most of all in samples collected from southern and western Estonia.

The University of Tartu invites everyone to participate in a photo contest to get photos by talented amateur and professional photographers depicting the University of Tartu buildings, students, events, studies, and everything else related to the University of Tartu. The contest takes place from 29 March to 30 September and all participants enter a draw to win prizes.

This week’s results of the wastewater monitoring survey led by the University of Tartu show that the spread of the coronavirus has slowed to some extent. The situation continues to be serious in the counties of northern Estonia and in Tartu. In wastewater samples from central and southern Estonia, the virus concentration has decreased.

Studies will continue largely online and classroom studies should be kept to a minimum in April As the epidemiological situation in Estonia is very serious and the Estonian government has imposed additional restrictions on educational institutions, the University of Tartu will continue with similar organisation of studies as in March.

This week’s results of the wastewater study led by the University of Tartu confirm a continued spread of the coronavirus. In the coming weeks, the number of infections is expected to rise in both southern and western Estonia.

In cooperation between Estonian companies and the University of Tartu and the Estonian University of Life Sciences, technology has been developed for producing nasal and throat spray based on antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Initial studies have shown that it may help prevent infection with the coronavirus.

This week’s results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu reveal high concentration of coronavirus in the samples taken from nearly all larger cities. According to researchers, this indicates that the number of infections is not expected to decrease in the next week or two.
