The staff of the Dudelange-based laboratory has become a team of Covid-19-fighters, complete with corresponding stickers to adorn their LinkedIn profile, the entrance doors to the building, and their delivery vans.
LNS Director Friedrich Mühlschlegel came up with the idea for the name and said he thought of it as a programme in its own right, to reflect their common professional excellence while keeping the tone light in times of stress. "Every LNS employee is, on the one hand, an active part of the Luxembourg health system and, on the other hand, a human being. We wanted to bring these two aspects together under a common denominator."
"The term "Covid-19-Fighter" has very quickly become the embodiment of the cohesion of our team.", said Mühlschlegel. "As a unit with a common mission, we are faced with the special professional challenges of these weeks, which require us to concentrate our excellence. And as individuals, we regularly exchange ideas, be it over a joint video conference lunch or during a short telephone conversation. This is particularly important today, as many employees are currently working from home. With the "Covid-19-Fighter" initiative, we are also combating the risk of social distancing."
