FAQ
- What should I keep in mind when entering the MHL buildings?
Since 15.9.2021, a 3G proof (tested, recovered, vaccinated) must be provided when entering the MHL. The negative test result must not be older than 72 hours (3 days). For events, the negative test result must not be older than 24 hours. The wearing of a mouth/nose protection and a minimum distance of 1.5 metres is recommended. Medical masks (FFP2 or surgical masks) are recommended. Everyday masks, e.g. those made of fabric, do not have the same effect as medical masks. Further information can be found in the hygiene guidelines and the hygiene concept, which university members can download from MHLnet. In principle, external persons may only enter the university buildings with a 3G certificate. Access to the building is exclusively via Große Petersgrube and must be documented by means of a card reader at the gate. The way to the exit is signposted and is located in the Depenau. There, too, leaving the building must be documented by means of a card reader (except for employees of the university administration). Access to the other MHL buildings is documented using the LUCA app. Self-documentation through the LUCA app or the routing slips is suspended. - Who do I contact with questions about vaccination?

Do not enter the MHL until a negative test result is available (if the Health Office orders a test). Conduct classes digitally or participate in classes online. If the test result is positive, do not enter the MHL under any circumstances and follow the instructions of the Health Department. Please report immediately by email or telephone to the Presidential Office (T: 0451-1505 128), as every Corona case must be reported to the Ministry. In this way, it can also be tracked whether you were previously present at the MHL and what contacts you had there.
