Dear students,
due to the increasing numbers of accommodated students with COVID disease, I must now accept that not every accommodated student will be accommodated in a hotel room in isolation in case of illness. So far, we have accommodated everyone without distinction of the country of permanent residence, although there was no entitlement to this isolation. The university has an obligation to provide isolation only to students with visa requirements and others must provide isolation themselves at the place of residence. At their meeting, the MU emergency staff decided that from January 11th, 2022 if the resident students tested positive for covid-19, they would quarantine the B&B hotel as follows:
Other students mainly from the Czech Republic and Slovakia in case of a positive test, they will leave the dormitory and go home or provide isolation themselves outside the MU buildings.
Students will be allowed to return to their dormitory after 7 calendar days in accordance with government regulations.
We are sorry for the inconvenience
Bc. Kamil Kulíšek

Increased capacity and higher chances for first-year students – that is the improved reality for students in this academic year. Even more beds will become available once the major renovations of the Kounicova dormitory are finished before the start of the next academic year, and new student housing projects are scheduled at the Vinařská complex or in the Bohunice campus.
The Security Emergency Board of Masaryk University decided on Thursday, 12 September, to carry out preventive evacuation of the dormitories at Sladkého and Bří. Žůrků in Komárov, where some students had already moved in. According to original estimates Brno was to expect 100-year flood and the situation on the Svitava River in the Komárov area was expected to include the flooding of the dormitories and power and water outages. For the same reasons and out of security concerns MU decided that the move-in day at all remaining dormitories be delayed.
