The regulations issued over the last years and months by the German federal government and the government of Schleswig-Holstein to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus are no longer in place
Even if the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic has become less threatening, we can all still do our part to take care of ourselves and others and try and prevent infections.
How is FUAS affected?
FUAS' crisis management group has been dissolved, and the hygiene concept is no longer in effect. Currently, there are no COVID-related rules or regulations you have to be aware of.

General information
What to do when you’re unwell
Not everyone who coughs is infected with the new coronavirus. If you feel unwell and are showing symptoms of an influenza and if you fear you may be infected with the new coronavirus, please call your general practitioner.
Call your GP first and explain your symptoms. It is advisable to make an appointment outside your doctor’s regular consultation hours or maybe schedule a house call. It is not a good idea for you to sit in your GP’s waiting room alongside other patients.
Your GP will then take the tests and examinations necessary. Flensburg University of Applied Sciences is part of the official communication chain in place and will be informed of any relevant developments by the City of Flensburg’s health department.
If you do not have a GP or you can’t reach them, please contact the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung [Association of Physicians registered with the Statutory Health Insurance Providers] by calling +49 116 117.
