Friday 13 March

To ensure the safety and well-being of our community and in light of the rapidly evolving situation and the new guidelines on prevention and containment established by the government, we are taking precautions starting today Friday 13 March at least until April 3rd.:

  • The Hub will be open for members with coworking rights and door keys only.
  • A Hub team member will be present on site each day to monitor and carry out necessary daily tasks.
  • We kindly ask members to avoid having visitors or meetings with non-members within the building.
  • We will no longer take meeting room bookings. For existing bookings, we are reaching out to the organisers to support the cancelation and rescheduling.
  • All currently scheduled events on the Humanity Hub calendar will be cancelled or rescheduled to a later date.
  • The Hub Café services and buffet lunch are suspended.
  • Reception services are suspended and the doorbell will not be answered. The phone line will remain open.

While we know that this is a fast-changing situation, our hope is that we will be able to resume business as usual as soon as possible. We will be monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis and will inform you of any changes as the situation evolves. 

The Hub team is going to work remotely in support of our ongoing activities, and we will be exploring ways to support the collaborative spirit and activities of the Humanity Hub community using virtual platforms and convenings. Stay tuned for details on that.

We all find ourselves these days facing a common challenge. These times call for solidarity, resilience and keeping a flexible approach towards our daily activities. It is each and everyone’s responsibility to follow the guidelines established by the health authorities and help mitigate the impact of this crisis.

Please follow basic hygiene and safety practices as described by RIVM. We support limitation of unnecessary physical social interaction to help limit the spread of the virus (you can be a carrier and infect others even without symptoms!). If you are experiencing any related symptoms, please isolate yourself and visit your GP. Before you go, please call ahead and mention your symptoms.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at community@humanityhub.net.

Stay safe,
The Hub team
