Employees are being re-examined due to mold at KUA

All floors from the 2nd floor and up are completely sealed off, and approximately 640 employees have been relocated, after mold was discovered at KUA - Copenhagen University on Amager.

This is reported by Karen Dilling, who is the vice director of Copenhagen University, to TV 2 Kosmopol.

It is estimated that it could take up to half a year before employees can return to the premises, according to the report.

The university had suspicions that there might be problems with mold, when an employee last year reported symptoms.

Mold has also been found in several teaching rooms, but not to the same extent as in the employee's rooms, writes TV 2 Kosmopol.

According to Uniavisen, the problem has been escalating since December, when mold was first discovered in Søndre Campus, which Copenhagen University calls the building.

Uniavisen writes that the Humanities Faculty has teaching in some of the rooms affected by mold.

Therefore, the affected teaching is now being moved to home-based learning.

According to Uniavisen, parts of the 1st floor and ground floor are also sealed off.

About half of the rooms can still be used, as mold has not been found.

The sealed-off rooms are clearly marked, as well as locked.

When one is exposed to mold spores, it can lead to fever-like symptoms, headaches, and fatigue.

They can also worsen existing allergies or asthma.
