Coronavirus

Updated content (19 March 2021)

• The FHNW protection concept introduced on 18 January 2021 continues to apply.
• Distance learning and teleworking continue to be the norm.
• As the campus buildings remain closed and access is possible only with exceptional authorisation, the campus libraries also remain closed. The supply of media is ensured. The FHNW will make a decision on opening the libraries as soon as the Federal Council relaxes the requirements for distance learning and teleworking. Separate provisions apply to the Vera Oeri Library of the FHNW School of Music and City of Basel Music Academy.

Protection concept FHNW as of 18 January 2021

Since 19 June 2020, the special situation according to the Epidemics Act has applied due to the Covid 19 epidemic in Switzerland. Based on this law, the Federal Council has issued the Covid 19 Ordinance and amended it again on 13 January 2021.

The FHNW’s Covid-19 protection concept contains the following key protective measures:

• From 18 January 2021, access to the premises of the FHNW is only permitted in cases of operational necessity and only with an exceptional authorisation from the president of the directorate or the vice-presidents or the directors of the universities or the persons responsible for the location (e.g. for examinations).
• Education and continuing education take place virtually. Exceptions are approved by the responsible director.
