COVID 19 cases among students
In coordination with the responsible authorities, processes have been developed for dealing with suspected and confirmed cases of illness.
A student feels ill on campus/in a course. What to do?
- The students should leave the campus immediately with a mask on, call the health hotline 1450 or the family doctor, follow the instructions and do not return to Campus WU until the suspicion has been dispelled. In addition, he/she should report at potential-covid@wu.ac.at as a suspected case.
- If a student appears to be ill, you as the lecturer are entitled to dismiss him/her from the course unit. If the student refuses to leave, you are entitled to cancel the course unit. Please make notes on this incident and report it to potential-covid@wu.ac.at, as we must forward such suspected cases (anonymised) to the Ministry.
What to do in case of a suspected case?
The student is not supposed to come to Campus WU, and - if not already done - he/she is to call the health hotline 1450 or the family doctor and follow the instructions. In addition, he/she should report to potential-covid@wu.ac.at as a suspected case.
What measures are to be taken in the case of a confirmed COVID-19 case?
If a student has tested positive, he/she should fill out the COVID-19 registration form immediately so that contact tracing can be started ad WU.
