Current regulations
There are currently no legal restrictions on teaching at universities. The winter semester 2022/2023 will generally take place in attendance. The following protective measures apply at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences:
- AHA+L rules (distance, hand hygiene, cough and sneeze etiquette, ventilation).
- Students are not required to wear masks in seminar rooms and lecture halls, but are strongly advised to wear a medical mask if the minimum distance of 1.5 m cannot be maintained.
- If you have cold symptoms, please stay home and test if necessary.
- There are CO2 traffic lights in the seminar rooms and lecture halls. At 1000 ppm CO2 at the latest, the room must be shock-ventilated. The first orange diode indicates 900 ppm.
- A mask obligation can result from the risk assessment. For example, if the minimum distance of 1.5 m cannot be maintained or if several persons are present in indoor rooms at the same time and the technical and organizational measures are not sufficient (ventilation, partition walls, immunization, etc.).
- The DGUV's model risk assessment Corona is being revised and will be published in the next few days.
Please send any questions you may have per email directly to Task Force Corona.

Questions about how the teaching will be organised
Will there be any hybrid classes?
Some seminar rooms and lecture theatres have the technical equipment needed for hybrid teaching. However, data protection provisions mean that only certain teaching formats can be offered at the moment. This means that this possibility will be used only in specific cases. Your faculty will tell you whether this applies to your classes.
