Advice on limiting the spread of the coronavirus
- It is recommended to work no more than half your normal working time at your workplace.

- Wear a face mask where this is required or advised.
- Get a vaccine or booster shot.
- Any symptoms? Stay at home and take a self-test.
- People who test positive for coronavirus must self-isolate. Anyone who lives with, or is travelling with someone who tests positive must self-isolate, unless they received their booster vaccination at least 1 week ago, they tested positive less than 8 weeks ago or their employer shows that they are needed at work and meet the conditions of employees in essential business processes. This only applies if they do not have and COVID-19 symptoms. If you are unsure whether you need to self-quarantine, do the Quarantine Check.
