Employees are required to wear a mask during all in-person meetings at all times, including any socializing in break rooms. You may, of course, continue to consume food and drinks as usual and may therefore temporarily remove your mask for this. Once again, the Crisis Management Team urges you to observe general good hygiene practice.
It would also like to point out the existing alternative options of working from home and virtual meeting formats (MS Teams and Zoom).
The mask obligations mentioned above apply with immediate effect and will probably be lifted again once the infection rate in the city of Aachen has fallen below 50 for at least one whole week. The already existing regulations on the obligation to wear masks at public events will of course continue to apply.
