Dear colleagues, dear students,

We expect that at the beginning of the academic year 2021/22, all forms of teaching will be able to take place in person. In most situations, neither teachers nor students will need to have respirators when teaching, but the obligation to use respiratory protection will remain in the common areas of the buildings. Students will no longer have to prove vaccination, illness or test results, and regular testing of employees will not be mandatory.

In clinical teaching, we recommend that the workplace adjust the hygiene rules for students so that they are similar to the current rules for employees.

Even if the ordered hygiene measures are relaxed, we ask all employees and students to behave responsibly. The management of the 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, joins the Rectors' call for students to undergo vaccination against COVID-19 before the beginning of the semester.
