COVID-19 information
published on 07.07.21
Given the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, the TBS campus in Barcelona has taken a series of measures in terms of capacity, hygiene, and collective responsibility that are set out below.
The current study mode at TBS in Barcelona is a face-to-face format, with students on campus but with reduced capacity and adjusted to those indicated by the authorities. In the same way, if a positive case or risk of contagion appears, the pertinent isolation measures can be taken to switch to a hybrid format if necessary.
At all times, both students and members of the staff and faculty must wear an FPP2 mask in the TBS facilities, as well as the prohibition of eating and drinking within the classes to avoid contagion.
Such steps are taken to ensure the safety and well-being of our TBS community, as well as to show the school’s commitment to preventing expansion.
