Please note: Information on coronavirus
The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the infection it causes (coronavirus induced disease, COVID 19) are continuing to spread. The number of cases in Italy has risen considerably in recent weeks, and the first case has been registered in Erlangen. In response to the changing situation, FAU has updated its regulations concerning business travel to high-risk areas, the procedure for people returning from high-risk areas, and holding lectures, seminars and other events. We have published the updated guidelines in the administration portal.
- All business travel to China and other high-risk areas defined by the Robert Koch Institute is prohibited with immediate effect.
- People returning from these areas or people with symptoms should work from home or be released from the obligation to work – under these circumstances
- Special rules apply for people and students at Universitätsklinikum.
- The same conditions as apply to people returning from travel abroad or those who have newly arrived in Germany will also apply to lectures, seminars and other events.
How can I protect myself?
- Pay attention to good personal hygiene (especially washing your hands correctly and regularly) as well as observing the rules of cough etiquette when coughing and sneezing. Information is available on the website of the Unit of Occupational Safety.
- Avoid contact to people with respiratory illnesses.
- If you develop a fever, cough or difficulty breathing after spending time in a high-risk area, please contact your family doctor by telephone and discuss how to proceed.
