	Dear Colleagues, The Coronavirus has given us a very difficult world. Many are sick; some die. Countries have closed educational institutions, kindergartens and borders and gathering of people may not be allowed. Many people work from home to reduce the risk of spreading the virus for the benefit of everyone. The fib is an international organization with members from many countries of the world. fib members voluntarily work together to reach the goals of the fib. Much of this work is performed in committees and meetings, which often require traveling. Health is of paramount importance. Traveling and meeting are not healthy now. Fortunately, there are tools available that make electronic communication possible. Many of us are not so familiar with these tools, but we need to learn how to use them, and actually use them. And although they may not be as efficient and pleasant as a nice personal meeting, they will have to be sufficient for now. The fib Secretariat will work to facilitate the digital communication of the fib members and task groups. I wish you and your families well. Tor Ole Olsen fib President
