General
All the following measures are guided by the desire to maintain the possibility of full-time teaching, so that we do not move into the red colour of the university traffic lights. The O-N-T/V-C-T rule (vaccination-cured-test) applies to the healthy, not the sick with symptoms of respiratory disease - they don't attend classes, they don't come to the faculty we repeatedly appeal to students and faculty/staff to, if they are not prevented by health reasons, to have the vaccination.
Movement within the Faculty premises
It is compulsory to wear respirators in all indoor areas of FSS MU except:
• offices where no more than two people are present and working there steadily, have a distance of at least 1.5 m between them and both agree to remove their respirators;
• lecturers during teaching with completed vaccinations (all others must wear a respirator at all times).
The public is not allowed in the building, except for persons providing instruction (freelancers), representatives of collaborating companies and partners for key meetings that cannot be held online.
