General public health guidelines for on-campus activities and behaviour

Employees are strongly urged to work from home, as far as possible.  Research, educational and consultancy activities and administrative support functions may still be carried out on campus, on condition that in-person participation is important for the performance of the tasks in question. If in doubt, consult your immediate manager/supervisor.

From January, exams – oral and written – will be held online. There will be exceptions; in some cases, holding exams online may be inappropriate or impracticable. See more under guidelines for classes and exams

All visitors to AU’s campuses must be able to present a valid Covid passport, wear face mask or face covering while moving around indoors and comply with the general public health guidelines for the prevention of infection.

If you are not sure about any of AU’s guidelines, please contact your manager or supervisor; students should consult their study portal for updates.

Everyone is encouraged to follow the  Danish Health Authority's general public health precautions, including:

• practicing good hygiene.
• airing out communal spaces frequently, if possible with cross-ventilation (conference rooms, offices, classrooms, labs, group rooms, reading rooms, etc.).
• cleaning or sanitising contact surfaces in communal areas after use. Disinfectant spray or the like is available in classrooms, meeting rooms and other communal areas.     
• practicing social distancing where possible.
• complying with the public health guidelines and as well as guidelines for what to do if you have symptoms, as described below.

• Employees and students should not come to campus if they feel ill and/or have mild symptoms of Covid-19.
• Employees who test positive for Covid-19 are encouraged to inform their immediate supervisor immediately.
• We urge students who test positive for Covid-19 to inform the studies administration office by filling out and submitting the  coronavirus form.
• Registering cases will enable the university to assist the Danish Patient Safety Authority in contact tracing and in handling larger outbreaks. Aarhus University respects and protects the confidentiality of your data.
• AU encourages students and employees to use the official contact tracing app smitte|stop, which can assist with contact tracing in the event of an outbreak.

• Employees in an at-risk group should discuss their situation with their immediate supervisor, who will make a concrete assessment of what steps should be taken.

• If you are a student who belongs to a high-risk group, consult the guidelines for classes and exams
