Status update as of May 3, 2022
Dear employees and guests,
From May 3, updated regulations for handling the coronavirus apply. From now on, the isolation period for individuals who have tested positive for Corona is only five days. Quarantine for close contacts and household members has been completely eliminated. The mask requirement in public transport (including train and air travel) and medical areas (e.g., doctors' offices, hospitals, nursing homes) remains in place. Occasionally, facilities and businesses open to the public may make use of their house rules and continue to impose a mask requirement. Please always observe the notices at the entrances.
At the Max Planck Campus Tübingen, masks are still mandatory in all indoor areas.
Further details can be found in the overview below.
From April 3, masks still remain obligatory outside the Max Planck Campus Tübingen in:
| EVENT FORMAT | ||
Virtual | 3G model | Hybrid | |
Protective measures | Not applicable | AHA+L Face coverings have to be worn at desks, if a distance of 1.5m is not guaranteed | For physically present employees, the requirements in the respective column of this table apply depending on the chosen G model |
Duty to provide information about vaccination status | Not applicable | NO | |
Obligation to get tested regardless of status | Not applicable | Possible for guests under the house rules |
3G: Evidence required of testing, vaccination or recovery
2G: Evidence required of vaccination or recovery
AHA+L: Distancing – hand hygiene – face covering + ventilation
The 2G model may only be operationally necessary at events, gatherings, meetings or conferences, if individuals are also given the option to attend based on a hybrid variant.
This procedure is intended to ensure that virtual attendance does not lead to disadvantages in the employment relationship. At the same time, virtual participation does not mean that individuals do not meet the 2G criteria. Virtual participation may be chosen for a variety of reasons, e.g. to avoid travel, clashes with other meetings etc. There is no requirement to disclose the reasons.
Participation in the 2G model during attendance must be voluntary for MPG employees; this is the main basis to ensure that employees are not forced to provide information about their vaccination status. Reason: For reasons relating to data protection law, employers are notpermitted to ask about their employees' vaccination status.
The Max Planck House and its cafeteria and canteen is open for guests.
Children at the Tübingen Campus are required to wear masks from the age of six. The general regulations of supervision and the requirements of occupational health and safety must be observed.
