Covid passports will be required on campus from Monday 29 November
Once again, Covid-19 infection rates are rising in our society. To combat this, Parliament has just re-introduced a number of public health measures, on the background of the parliamentary epidemic committee’s approved of the ministerial epidemic commission’s recommendation. These new restrictions will also affect the university.
Covid passport mandate
At Aarhus University, we follow the national public health guidelines and recommendations that have been introduced to combat the spread of Covid-19. From Monday 29 November, all AU staff members must be able to present a valid Covid passport when they come to campus. The Danish Employee and Competence Agency has urged the university to monitor compliance by performing checks of staff Covid passports.
The chairs of the Main Liaison Committee and the Main Occupational Health and Safety Committee discussed this matter this afternoon (26 November), and have agreed on how the Covid passport mandate will be handled at AU, including the university’s response to the recommendation that compliance be monitored.
Staff can expect that random checks will be performed. Ensuring that such checks are performed is the responsibility of line management.
The Covid passport mandate also applies to students and visitors to the university’s campuses. This is explained in the mail that was sent out to students earlier today.
