New Corona Rules as of 6 November 2021

FFP2 Masks Obligation at Yellow and Red Alert Levels

Traffic light switching to yellow and FFP2 mask with text: Mask obligation

Due to the rising infection figures, the Bavarian cabinet decided on 3 November to tighten the Corona measures in Bavaria.

FFP2 masks must be worn when the level yellow on the Bavaria-wide hospital signal light ("Krankenhaus-Ampel") is reached. A surgical face mask is then no longer sufficient.

What does this mean for visiting our branch libraries?

As long as the hospital alert level is green, it is sufficient to wear a surgical mask.
If the hospital alert level is yellow or red, you are required to wear an FFP2 mask.
You are allowed to take off the mask while seated at the assigned study desk.
The 3G rule still applies: Access to all TUM buildings for students, employees and visitors only with proof of testing, vaccination or recovery.
