21. October 2020
Dear university members,
Due
to the new measures of the Federal Government in connection with Covid-19, which were announced at the beginning of this week,
the Rectorate discussed in detail an adjustment of the Covid regulations at the Angewandte. We hereby inform you about the
result of the discussion:
Until further notice, the YELLOW operating
mode remains in place. Courses have got off to a good start and are functioning well under the changed conditions.
The constantly low number of confirmed Covid cases within the university also shows that the measures taken are largely adhered
to and have a positive effect. In addition, the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research continues to recommend
traffic light status yellow for the university sector.
In order to avoid a change to ORANGE
for as long as possible, we ask you to continue to observe the hygiene and safety regulations (keep a distance of 1.5 m, wear
a mask, ventilate regularly and wash/disinfect hands) and thank you very much for actively supporting all measures taken so
far.
We will of course keep you informed about any changes.
If
you have any questions or in case of suspicion of Covid, please contact the Covid staff unit (
covid@uni-ak.ac.at).
Many
thanks and kind regards,
Gerald Bast, Bernhard Kernegger, Barbara Putz-Plecko, Eva Maria Stadler and Maria Zettler
