According to the GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond, this was due to at least two \u2018social gatherings\u2019 of students. One of these was apparently the event organised by the association of medical students at Erasmus MC, although the GGD can\u2019t say that for certain yet. \u201cToday the board has established that several members who attended the beach volleyball tournament on Saturday (18 July, ed.) have tested positive for COVID-19,\u201d the board writes in its e-mail to the members.<\/p>\n<p>In the mail, the board advises everyone who took part in the tournament to go into quarantine, even if they have no symptoms. The board members were not available for comment on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meeting with the mayor<\/h2><p>On Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb will meet the student associations to talk about the recent infections. Merel van Lunen, preses of the Rotterdam Chamber of Associations (RKvV), is one of those invited to the meeting. According to Van Lunen, both cases were related to drinks parties that had not been organised by student associations (the MFVR is regarded as a faculty association, not a student association). She regrets what she feels is the \u2018misleading impression\u2019 that associations have not kept to the rules. \u201cIn fact, they have been obsessive in keeping to the rules, also because they knew that they were being scrutinised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, some of the infected students were members of the student associations. Van Lunen: \u201cUltimately we all have the same goal: to protect those who have contracted the virus and all the other students. But we have noticed a slight laxness among Rotterdam students with respect to the rules. We now want the associations to impress on students the importance of keeping to the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018No ban on Eurekaweek\u2019<\/h2><p>President Sander Doude van Troostwijk from Eurekaweek will be present at the meeting with Aboutaleb. \u2018His\u2019 Eurekaweek is at risk due to the new infections, but the mayor is notconsidering cancellation. \u201cWe will monitor the developments, but cancelling Eurekaweek is not yet part of the plan,\u201d Aboutaleb told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijnmond.nl\/nieuws\/197594\/Aboutaleb-waarschuwt-studenten-en-moslims-Het-coronavirus-is-niet-op-vakantie\">RTV Rijnmond<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Doude van Troostwijk is confident that they will have a \u2018constructive discussion\u2019 with the mayor. \u201cWe submitted a plan to the municipality, which is awaiting approval. We are taking all scenarios into account, so if stricter measures are introduced, we are prepared.\u201d For now, Doude van Troostwijk is assuming that the introductory week will go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De redactie<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul
