We strongly recommend to use medical/FFP2 masks
For your own and the staff's safety we strongly recommend that masks are worn in all indoor areas.
Please wear masks when coming to the User Office to show your test result and get the routing slip signed.
When working close with others we recommend to use FFP2 masks.
In addition, please keep distance to other persons (max. three persons), which also means that you should restrict the number of persons being together in the beamline hutches and laboratories whenever possible.
Please check the general Corona-related safety regulations for experimental work at PETRA III and FLASH as well as steps to be taken when tested positive during your stay at DESY.
Allowed number of onsite participants
There is no restriction in the numbers of participants anymore. However, please reconsider the number of onsite experimenters and keep the group reasonably small.
General travel regulations for people coming to Germany↵
At present (August 2022) no specific Corona-related regulations apply for travels to Germany.
However, German authorities may define specific 'risk areas with variants of concern' for which travel regulations apply. Currently (August 2022), no risk areas are defined. Please check again before coming to DESY on the RKI webpage.
In any case, a visit to DESY after a stay in an 'area of variant of concern' is NOT possible.
