Due to the latest update of the contact regulations for universities, effective from 13 October, there are changes regarding contact tracing, among other things.

After TH Wildau informed in the last update of 17 September 2021 that on the basis of the third SARS-CoV-2 Handling Regulation the obligation for contact tracing at the university was no longer applicable, the latest update of the Handling Regulation for universities (Link to press release), which comes into force on 13 October, now again requires contact tracing for teaching and public events (such as events without direct teaching or adminstrative contexts, e.g. the seminar for senior citizens).

 This means

  • As of Wednesday, 13 October 2021, the WebApp for contact tracking will be available (again) and must be used by everyone for attendance events (courses/exams as well as other events according to §10 of the Contact Ordinance).
  • For each event, scan the corresponding QR code with your mobile device before entering the respective rooms. Alternatively, you can also use https://icampus.th-wildau.de/kontaktnachverfolgung on any terminal with an internet connection to log in.
  • All relevant information on the WebApp can be found at www.en.th-wildau.de/contact-tracing. There you will also find help on how it works, such as FAQ or operating instructions.
  • Important: In offices and at events with an official context (meetings, committee meetings), this contact tracing obligation does not apply to employees. However, you are of course free to use the WebApp on a voluntary basis as well.
  • Note: When using the WebApp for contact tracing for the first time, you may still see the message screen that the WebApp has been switched off. In this case, the WebApp must be reloaded once. If you have any further problems, please contact Krisenstab(at)th-wildau.de.

Home office arrangements

  • Due to the continuing special situation in the context of the Corona pandemic, the flat-rate home office regulations will be extended until 28 February 2022.
  • If no further extension is communicated below, the service agreement on alternating teleworking and mobile working (DV ATMA), which came into force on 1 September 2021 and was concluded between the university and the General Staff Council, will apply from 1 March 2022. Applications in accordance with the new DV ATMA can of course be submitted and processed - however, they will now only be mandatory from 1 March 2022.

The Crisis Team hopes that the issue of contact tracing in particular will now have a longer-term character and that the current regulation will not be changed again in the course of the semester.

Additionally the Crisis Team also thanks students and employees for their flexibility and understanding of the measures that continue to be required to deal with the challenging conditions for the benefit of all.
