No, but there is a strong recommendation for everyone to continue wearing masks in University buildings. A large number of students, faculty and staff are at a higher risk of suffering a severe course if infected with the coronavirus due to pre-existing conditions. Out of consideration and solidarity with members of risk groups, so-called vulnerable persons, protection against infection continues to be the top priority - especially during teaching events.

All faculties and central research units are currently preparing study offers that take these necessities into account. This doesn't mean that good and successful digital teaching formats will suddenly be discontinued. In addition to a broad range of in-person courses, online classes will routinely be offered.

An operational vaccination campaign for booster vaccinations or individual vaccinations is not planned at the RUB due to the considerable effort involved, which cannot be realised at short notice. However, there is a chance to get boostered or vaccinated, for example, at the Bezirksverwaltung Süd in the Uni-Center, sometimes without an appointment. There are furthermore sufficient vaccination offers in general practitioners' and specialists' practices, at mobile vaccination campaigns and in fixed vaccination centres of the cities and municipalities.
