With the Swiss Federal Council announcing stricter regulations to protect against the spread of the omicron variant, IMI has also updated its protection policy accordingly.

The following measures continue to be mandatory on campus for all staff and students:

• There is a certificate requirement on campus
• There is a mask requirement (even with certificate) in all public areas. According to the federal law the speaker in a class is still allowed to remove their mask (providing a distance of 1.5m is kept)
• The mask requirement is also for all rooms with more than one person (e.g. offices)
• Those not vaccinated must take twice weekly saliva tests (which are also available for the whole school community on a voluntary basis)

All the above steps are taken with student health and safety as our first priority and we thank our campus community for their continued efforts to ensure the well-being of all.

For students, please continue to be vigilant and contact Reception IMI immediately on MS TEAMS if you feel unwell or develop typical Covid-19 symptoms.
