Information regarding Corona

Travelling to Germany

• People travelling from specific regions are required to register online before travelling. One can register through this website. Here, one will be asked to upload a copy of personal identification and a proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test. This applies to those who come from high-risk areas and areas of variants of concern (currently the entire UK is listed as a high-risk area). Information regarding the list of risk areas could be found here. After completing this, one receives a PDF confirmation, which one can present to the responsible authorities once inspected (e.g., in trains, airports, etc.).
  
  
• Wearing medical-grade masks (surgical or FFP-2) is compulsory on public transport. Cloth masks are not allowed.
  
  

At the university

• Wearing medical-grade masks (surgical or FFP-2) is compulsory in all university buildings. Cloth masks are not allowed.
  
  
• Participation in in-person events (e.g. courses, examinations, meetings, conferences) at the university is only allowed under the 3G rule (vaccinated, recovered, or tested). The proof of immunity or testing will be checked by the organisers at the beginning of the meeting. A person is considered fully vaccinated if no less than 14 days have passed after the last required shot of an EU-approved vaccine (BioNtech-Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Janssen). For more information on recognised vaccines and vaccination schemes, one can visit the following site. A person is considered recovered if s/he has a positive PCR test which is dated not earlier than 30 days and not older than 6 months. If a person is neither fully vaccinated nor recovered, s/he has to take an antigen/PCR test within 48 hours. Self-tests do not qualify as proof of testing. For more information, one can access the current organisational decree of the university here. The relevant sections are Sections 9 and 10.1.
  
  
• Everyone is expected to maintain a social distance of 1.5m in all public circulation areas.
  
  
• Once the participants are seated in the seminar room, they are allowed to take their masks off. Upon leaving the room, participants must wear their masks once again.
  
  
• You should bring your proof of immunity when going for lunch as it would be checked in the Mensa (university cafeteria).
