Coronavirus – Rector's information

The global pandemic that has prevailed since 2020 poses major challenges for our university. From March to October 2020, the TU Bergakademie was in standby mode, partly with hybrid teaching formats in the summer semester 2020 and at the beginning of the winter semester 2020/21. The further increase in the number of infections required a campus closure since December 2020. The Corona pandemic will continue to accompany us in 2021, influencing university operations and placing demands on new formats for teaching, research, scientific exchange and events.

Information for university operations under the pandemic conditions can be found on the following pages.

Stay at the university

All members, employees, students and guests of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg are obliged to wear a correctly fitting mouth-nose-covering (FFP2 or surgical mask) in all buildings on campus. The mask requirement no longer applies outdoors, unless the Corona Protection Ordinance of the Free State of Saxony stipulates otherwise.

Please protect yourself and others

• by avoiding contacts
• by adhering to the AHA+L formula (which stands for keeping distance, hygiene, everyday mask and ventilation)
• by acting prudently (e.g. wearing your mask outside of the buildings, no personal face-to-face meetings).

Diseased and suspected cases

In the event of an infection with the coronavirus or contact with infected persons, employees must immediately inform their supervisor(s) and the Human Resources Department (personaleinzelzuv [dot] tu-freiberg [dot] de). If you as a supervisor become aware of a case of infection among your employees, please also pass on this information directly to the Human Resources Department in compliance with data protection regulations.

Students are requested to contact the Student Office (studierendenbuerozuv [dot] tu-freiberg [dot] de) immediately in the event of infection with the coronavirus or contact with a confirmed case of infection.

If a 14-day inpatient or home isolation is ordered or recommended for you, the TU Bergakademie Freiberg must be informed as soon as possible about isolation measures in any case:

• Employees: personaleinzelzuv [dot] tu-freiberg [dot] de
