The prevention measures have been completely overhauled on February 15, 2023.
SARS-CoV-2 prevention measures
Schloss Dagstuhl wants all guests to feel as comfortable and safe as possible during their stay. In the following, we list our most important rules and some of the measures we have introduced for your protection. We ask for your understanding that changes in current legal regulations or changes in travel regulations may, under certain circumstances, result in modified measures and rules for our institute and our guests at short notice. In general, we ask all guests to decide responsibly about seminar participation or cancellation.
TL;DR:
- We recommend that you be immunized against SARS-Cov-2.
- We recommend that you wear masks in Schloss Dagstuhl and in public transportation.
- Please test yourself for Covid before traveling. If you want to additionally test yourself during your stay, Covid-tests are available at the reception (or nearby in the foyer). For more details, see below.
Please pay attention to the information, for your travel and stay, listed below!
Travel, stay, and departure
- We recommend you to only come to Dagstuhl if you are fully immunized against SARS-CoV-2. Before your trip to Dagstuhl, you should, by all means, conduct a Covid-(self-)test, and only travel if the result is negative.
- At the reception (or nearby in the foyer), you can find lateral flow Covid self-tests for use during your stay. In case of a positive test, you can stay at Dagstuhl at cost price if you want to quarantine in your room.
- Please observe the valid entry regulations of Germany.
- A medical mask is still recommended.
- If you notice any symptoms [2] as can occur with Covid-19, please retire to your room and inform a member of Schloss Dagstuhl staff. Schloss Dagstuhl will then coordinate further action (a voluntary isolation quarantine due to a positive test on site can be spent in Schloss Dagstuhl at cost price).
- Should you require a PCR test or an official test certificate for the return trip, you will find the appropriate addresses below. Our staff at the reception desk will be happy to help you – please contact us as early as possible if you need assistance.
