Covid-19 Information
Due to the announcement by the Federal Minister for Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection that the quarantine obligation in case of an infection with Corona will be lifted from 1 August 2022, it is necessary to adjust the Covid 19 safety measures at the mdw.
We would like to inform you that, due to this short-term change, the following measures will apply to participants and professors from 1 August 2022 as a transitional arrangement - especially for the protection of vulnerable members of the Wiener Musikseminar:

).
Official instructions regarding Covid 19 restrictions, and the FFP-2 mask mandate must be followed.
The following also applies to take part in the masterclass:
Participants and professors with a Corona infection must stay away from the university at least from the start of the infection or in the case of a positive test, despite the absence of symptoms or a mild course of the disease.
Entering the university is possible after 5 days if there are no symptoms and a so called free test has been carried out (negative PCR test or CT value equal to or above 30). After 10 days, the university can be entered in any case.
