Please check the following in advance: Do you have corona related complaints such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat and/or a cold? Is your partner or your roommate infected with the coronavirus? Should you be quarantined, for example because you have returned from a high risk area? Are all your answers to these questions "no"? Then we are happy to receive you. However, please continue to follow the basic guidelines: Stay home in case of any symptoms. Wash or disinfect your hands regularly. Cough and sneeze into your elbow. Use paper tissues and throw them away after use. Refrain from shaking hands. Keep 1.5 meters distance if possible, otherwise wear a mask.
