Corona measures for teaching in the summer semester 2022 (as of May 7, 2022)

General principles

In the summer semester 2022, the Städelschule will return to teaching in presence. Digital teaching formats are possible as a supplement to regular teaching in presence, particularly if quality improves.

The following hygiene regulations are recommended. Every individual is responsible for their own personal hygiene:

  • Keep your distance - Please keep at least 1.5 m distance between you and other persons.
  • In general, it is recommended to wear a medical mask when entering the university building as well as inside on the paths (-OP- mask or protective mask of the standards FFP2, KN95, N95 or comparable without exhalation valve (medical mask)). There is no need to wear a mask if the minimum distance of 1.5m on seats can be maintained safely and permanently. If one person in a group wishes to wear a mask, the entire group must study / work with a mask. Masks are not required in the outdoor areas of the university (garden, courtyard, parking lot).
  • Ventilate regularly - Ventilate work areas every 30 minutes for approximately
    5 minutes (shock ventilation/cross ventilation).
  • Hand Washing - Clean your hands regularly and thoroughly using soap. There are also hand disinfectant dispensers at several locations in the building that can be used.
  • Maintain Respiratory Hygiene - Cover your mouth and nose with a bent elbow or tissue when coughing or sneezing and dispose of it immediately.
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth if possible - Hands can pick up viruses and transmit them through mucous membranes on the face.
  • Refrain from hand contact - Refrain from unnecessary hand contact, such as shaking hands or hugging. If possible, do not touch publicly accessible objects such as door handles with your full hand or fingers.
  • Employees of the Städelschule working on site are strongly advised to continue to test themselves twice a week regardless of vaccination/gene status. Self-tests can be obtained from the janitor's office.
  • In case of suspected illness - Please inform the administration or the lecturer(s) or the Personnel Office immediately and go home or stay at home.

Use of space

  • Rooms must be supplied with fresh air for a few minutes at least every 30 minutes during their use. If the rooms have a technical ventilation system with fresh air supply, this must be used.
  • All seats may be occupied in both free seating and row seating.

Business trips and excursions

  • For those entering the country from abroad, the regulations of the Coronavirus Entry Ordinance apply.
  • For overnight stays in shared rooms, fixed room groups that are as small as possible should be planned. Persons who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or who have an above-average risk of severe disease progression due to their medical disposition should be accommodated in single rooms.
  • In view of the continuing dynamic infection situations, care should be taken to ensure that the cancellation conditions for travel are as comprehensive as possible, particularly in the autumn and winter months, in the event that destinations are declared high-risk or virus variant areas by the federal government at short notice. Cancellation costs are not covered centrally.

Duties in case of positive rapid antigen test and disease

Employees and students must inform their supervisor and the Personnel Office (personal@staedelschule.de) immediately and without being requested to do so, if

  • they been confirmed to be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus,
  • there is an obligation to segregate on the basis of the Corona Entry Ordinance,
  • there is an orer for segregation by a health authority.

If there is a positive test result based on an antigen self-test to detect infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus or a rapid antigen test performed under supervision, the person must immediately have a PCR test performed in accordance with Section 4 (2) of the CoVaSchuV and go into seclusion.

The certificate of the PCR test shall be considered as proof of absence, provided that the date of its performance indicates that it was carried out without delay in accordance with paragraph 1. The proof if absence can also be provided by a medical certificate or the quarantine order by a health authority.

For those proven to be infected with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the presence requirement is waived for 5 days. If symptoms of COVID-19 have appeared, isolation should be continued on one’s own responsibility until symptom-free for at least 48 hours.
