As a crisis expert, Kenny Meesters had been appointed to the national operational team on corona (LOT-C) in Zeist. This proved to be a blessing in disguise for the three students: as a result, they were allowed to work for the team as well, a rare opportunity to obtain a wealth of information and experience for their graduation research.
