Studying on site

First of all, we hope that you recover soon.

Please do the following:

• Follow medical advice and get well.

Do not come to the University when you are sick.

Until you have fully recovered, please take the following steps for the next course units and/or exams:

• Inform your teachers/examiners about your situation by e-mail. The COVID-19 infection or illness is a valid reason for non-attendance. Evidence (for example: a positive test result) may be checked randomly.

Due to the general COVID-19 regulations of the Federal Government and the City of Vienna:

• Please observe the regulations on movement restrictions (https://www.sozialministerium.at/Corona/aktuelle-massnahmen.html#verkehrsbeschraenkung-statt-absonderung).
• It is not intended that other course participants are also informed (no contact tracing). You do no longer have to notify the University of Vienna of your COVID-19 infection.
• Courses and exams continue as planned.
• Please notify persons with who you had close contact (e.g. study groups) and ask them to be careful in the next days.

We wish you all the best.

The information overload ranging from factual to fake information causes unnecessary stress. Avoid misinformation and reduce your social media use.
