COVID 19

2G plus regulation

This means persons who recovered from COVID or fully vaccinated persons are admitted if they can also present a negative test result. Participants with a booster vaccination do not need a test.

The meeting without daily testing can be attended by those who have been vaccinated three times or vaccinated twice and had a prior infection once (the order does not matter).
At the meeting with daily test may participate who is twice vaccinated, once vaccinated and prior infected or twice recovered.
Those who can provide proof of recovery are considered to have recovered if the first positive PCR test was at least 28 days ago and no more than 90 days ago.
Participants who do not need a test will receive an admission bracelet at the beginning of the meeting, which is valid as 2G+ "proof" for the duration of the meeting.
