Testing: In Vienna, the current testing schedule (Monday rapid + PCR test, Wednesday PCR test) will continue unchanged. Only fully vaccinated individuals are freed from the testing requirement.

External Test Certificates from authorized providers will be recognized. “Alles gurgelt” home tests will also be recognized when an individual’s identity has been verified during the test. For the purposes of school, PCR tests are valid for 72 hours and antigen tests are valid for 48 hours. Other forms of home self-testing will not be recognized.

Masking: Students, teachers, and administrators need not wear a mask in class or group rooms, but a mask must be worn elsewhere in the school building, regardless of a person’s vaccination or recovery status. For individuals with contact to a positive case (K1/K2), the guidelines of the health authorities require the wearing of a mask in class and group rooms.

Parents and guardians and other individuals who do not belong to the faculty, staff, or student population of the school may enter the building only with proof of full vaccination, recovery, or a valid test certificate (“3-G Regel”), and a mask.

School events lasting one or more days may take place, even with overnight stays, so long as hygiene regulations are complied with for the entire duration of the event, and a risk-analysis is undertaken.

Physical education will take place outside, or inside with at least one meter of safe distance between participants. Activities in which the safe distance of one meter is only briefly violated may also take place.

Singing and the playing of wind instruments will take place outside, or inside with at least two meters of safe distance between participants.

Dear Parents! From now on, please use Schoolfox, the electronic parent book, to notify the school about your child’s illness.
