INFORMATION ON INFECTION CONTROL
HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF FROM INFECTION?
The most important measures to prevent infection are the hygiene measures recommended by the Robert Koch Institute. These include above all
- regular hand washing (with soap, at least 20 seconds, also between the fingers) (https://www.infektionsschutz.de/haendewaschen.html)
- adherence to the coughing code of behaviour (coughing/sneezing in a paper handkerchief that is to be disposed of immediately afterwards, if not in the crook of your arm) (https://www.infektionsschutz.de/hygienetipps/hygiene-beim-husten-und-niesen.html)
- keeping a distance of at least 1-2m from coughing or sneezing persons
- avoiding handshakes as a greeting.

ACCESS TO THE UNIVERSITY
The university is currently closed to external visitors and guests with immediate effect and remains open only to members of the university, to service providers commissioned by the university and to visitors with explicit appointments. Persons who have stayed in a risk area or a particularly affected area within the last 14 days according to the current definition by the Robert Koch Institute or who have had contact with a person with confirmed infection are not allowed to enter Leuphana University Lüneburg for a period of 14 days after returning from the risk area or the particularly affected area until further notice. The decisive factor is that the Robert Koch Institute determines the areas within the 14-day period. A stay does not include only short-term contact, for example during refuelling, a normal coffee break or a visit to the toilet. A daily updated overview of risk areas and particularly affected areas can be found at www.rki.de/ncov-risikogebiete.
