  • Contagion security - requirement for an MRSA test for IHA students after returning from abroad

    For å unngå smitte til SHF sin besetning og eventuelt andre norske besetninger, er det et krav om MRSA-test etter hjemkomst fra utveksling for IHA studenter som har jobbet med dyr i utlandet.

    Norske husdyr har god helse. Det er få alvorlige smittsomme dyresjuk­dommer i Norge. Det er også lite av smittestoffer som smitter fra dyr og kan gi sjukdom hos mennesker. Denne gode helsen ønsker vi å ta vare på. Og du kan bidra!

    Contagion security - requirement for an MRSA test for IHA students after returning from abroad

    In order to avoid infection to SHF's herd and possibly other Norwegian herds, there is a requirement for an MRSA test after returning to IHA for students who have worked with animals abroad.

    Please contact your teacher for further information.
