Guidelines for Resuming Educational and Work Activities

Access to Buildings

There are currently no restrictions to access UniTrento facilities and buildings. Therefore, there are no limitations when entering classrooms, laboratories and offices with user capacity at 100%.

Restrictions apply only if the following health conditions are present:

• Positive COVID-19 swab test result
• Fever above 37.5 C°

In these cases, it is prohibited to access all UniTrento buildings and facilities.

If mild symptoms are present, such as a cold or cough but without fever and no particular respiratory difficulties, access to classrooms, laboratories and offices is allowed with the recommendation to wear a personal FFP2 face mask.
The University will provide FFP2 face masks to all employees with certain medical conditions certified by their general practitioner or the University doctor to help them reduce the risk of contracting serious illnesses.
FFP2 face masks are also available for employees who request them in the case of front office activities without protective screens and when interpersonal distancing of one meter is not possible. Requests can also be made if activities are required in particularly crowded and enclosed spaces. Face masks continue to be required in all health care facilities and during related activities.

Personal Hygiene

In addition to the use of face masks, it is always recommended to:

• avoid crowded environments to the extent possible;
• frequently sanitize hands using specific liquid or gel dispensers;
• practice respiratory hygiene (sneezing and/or coughing into a tissue and avoiding hand contact with respiratory fluids).

Management of a Confirmed Case of Covid-19

In the event of fever or difficulty breathing, the affected person must return immediately to their home and inform their general practitioner who will indicate the appropriate procedures to follow.
If the test result for Covid-19 is positive, the course professor or office supervisor must be notified. The University Covid-19 contact person must also be notified for the monitoring of infections, which is still active.
The infected person must remain in isolation until the symptoms disappear in accordance with the indications included in the Ministry of Health Bulletin issued on 31 August 2022, which requires:

• 5 days of isolation for asymptomatic cases and for symptomatic cases without symptoms for at least 2 days after a negative result of an antigenic or molecular test;
• 14 days of isolation from the first positive test if symptoms remain, regardless of the test result.

Close Contact

The provisions of the Ministry of Health Bulletin no. 19680 from 03/30/2022 remain in effect. The self-monitoring requirement applies to those who have had close contact with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals. This includes the obligation to wear FFP2 face masks indoors and in crowded areas until the 10th day after the date of the last close contact.
If symptoms similar to those of SARS-CoV-2 occur during the self-monitoring period, it is recommended to immediately take an antigen or molecular test. In the event of a negative result, the test must be repeated if symptoms are still present on the 5th day after the date of the last close contact
