Important Information Regarding the Start of the Lecture-free Period (Returnees From Risk Areas)

With the start of the lecture-free period approaching, the TH Wildau crisis team would like to remind you of the following directions and regulations regarding returnees from risk areas. These have already been published last August (see Information for Winter Semester, chapter 7) and remain valid:

• In principle, the SARS-CoV-2 quarantine regulation of the state of Brandenburg applies to returnees from international risk areas. The regulations there must be observed by employees and students of TH Wildau who have stayed in an international risk area. If you have been in a risk area, please inform the crisis management team at krisenstab(at)th-wildau.de.
• With regard to private travel, it is basically the responsibility of the traveller to find out before the planned journey whether the destination is a corona risk area. The travel warnings issued by the Federal Foreign Office and the information published by the RKI on the designation of international risk areas by the Federal Foreign Office, BMG and BMI are decisive in this context.
• For employees of TH Wildau, a deliberate trip to a risk area and the associated acceptance of the subsequent quarantine order constitutes a breach of the mutual duty of care within the employment relationship and has an impact on the employee's claim to remuneration. Further details can be found in the Chancellor's letter of 04.08.2020.
• In this context, all employees and civil servants who have been in a risk area since
  1 July 2020 are instructed to report this stay to the Chancellor of the TH Wildau. The notification is limited to the time period, the confirmation of the stay in a risk area and the date on which this area was classified as a risk area. Furthermore, it must be reported whether quarantine has been ordered. If so, the period of quarantine must be indicated. Please send the notifications and the supplementary documents to kanzler(at)th-wildau.de.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that the current Containment Ordinance of the State of Brandenburg, which is valid up to an including 7 March, entails no further changes for the current operations at our university. We will keep you informed about any future changes as soon as possible.
