Safety at IQ

Rules and information regarding Covid-19

The following rules are outdated and no longer in effect. The LUH has dropped all mandatory restrictions except the 3G rule. Even though masks are not required anymore, the LUH encourages people to wear them.

The LUH will no longer provide masks as they are not required by their rules anymore. Self-test kits will be provided until at least the end of summer.

For updates, please see the LUH Corona FAQ

Please refer to the hygiene concept of the university as well as our institute's own concept. Please also respect additional rules that may be imposed by research buildings such as HiTec and LNQE. Rules LUH Information on Coronavirus regulations (german) - Hygiene concept under Bullet 2 in the FAQ Hygienekonzept IQO - Stand 30.11.2021 Information on the Coronavirus and respective rules from the state government of Lower Saxony Information regarding masks Merkblatt Atemschutz der Stabstelle Arbeitssicherheit Arten von Mund-Nasen-Bedeckungen und Masken Informationen zur Wiederverwendung von FFP2-Masken der FH und WWU Münster Please be aware that FFP3 masks are commonly equipped with exhaust valves that make breathing easier and are useful for their usual application (protecting the wearer) but not useful for protecting others. A valved mask only protects the person wearing it, unvalved medical face masks also protect other people. Hence, valved masks should not be used if other options are available.
