22.03.2021

Coronavirus continues to spread in Estonia and globally and acting responsibly is still the best way to prevent it.

Below, we have gathered some recommendations and advice on how to act considerately in the circumstances of the spread of the virus. Find some of the most important recommendations below.   

In April, teaching will be largely conducted online.
Everyone whose duties allow that should work from home.
Maintain distance with other people in the work and study environment and comply with hygiene rules to reduce the likelihood of the virus spreading. The 2+2 rule applies.
Masks must be worn in all study buildings of the university, including in the hallways. Everyone is responsible for ensuring they have a face mask to wear.
Avoid unnecessary contacts and gatherings both during and outside working hours, for example in coffee corners, rest and dining areas.
Lets's use hoia.me app. HOIA mobile app allows rapid notification of a possible close contact with a COVID-19 virus carrier and is safe to use.
Keep your contact information updated because in cooperation with the Health Board, the university informs its members of possible close contacts with infected persons by phone and email.
When returning from countries with a high coronavirus infection rate, follow the restrictions on freedom of movement requirements laid down by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Organisation of studies

In April, teaching will be largely conducted online. Read more about teaching and studies in April.
Institutes will inform students of curricula in which it is clear already that distance learning continues until the end of the semester.
Have a look at general wisdom on e-learning and a few lessons from last spring.
All changes are immediately communicated to students and made available in the SIS.
If you have a question about the organisation of studies, submit it here.

Organisation of work

Everyone whose duties allow that should work from home. Heads of units and employees will cooperate to find solutions that consider the interests of both the university and the employee and ensure a safe working environment for all.
Electronic means for participating in meetings must be created for employees working remotely. 
Masks must be worn in all study buildings of the university, including in the hallways. Employees are not required to wear a mask in rooms accessible to employees only. Everyone is responsible for ensuring they have a face mask to wear.
If necessary, separate safe workstations must be set up for positions that require contacts with customers and people outside their unit. 
Prefer paperless procedures and forward documents via electronic channels. 
The government has started preparing for the vaccination of education staff, and the University of Tartu has sent the total number of employees of the university to the Ministry of Education and Research. University started to gather information about employees who want to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The vaccination of universities’ staff may be delayed until the end of April. The exact time depends on the actual delivery of the vaccine and on vaccination capacity. Read more on the university's intranet.
Read more detailed guidelines for organisation of work in the context of COVID-19 on the university's intranet.
Organisation of work in the university's units:

University of Tartu Academic Sports Club

New restrictions are imposed at the University of Tartu sports hall from 11 March until at least 11 April. Read more on the sports club's website.

University of Tartu Library

The University of Tartu Library is closed from 11 March to 11 April. Books can be borrowed for use at home and returned. Read more on the library's website.

University of Tartu Museum, Botanical Garden and Natural History Museum

From 3 to 28 March, the University of Tartu Museum, Botanical Garden and Natural History Museum are closed to visitors.

University buildings

Starting from 11 March, the doors of the following university buildings will be closed:
Näituse 20 and 13a; Näituse 2, Riia 23 and 23b, Ülikooli 17, 18, 18a; Delta study building; Struve 1, the new part of Ujula 4.

The door of the Vanemuise 46 building will be closed from 12 March.

The doors of the Jakobi 2 and Liivi 4 buildings will be closed from 15 March.

Employees can use their access card to enter the building. Visitors must be received by the person who invited them to enter the building.

Organisation of public events

Considering the current epidemiological situation in Estonia, we are asking everyone to organise events online.

Travelling

If you travelled abroad, make sure to consult the web page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the movement restrictions for people arriving in Estonia. As the epidemiological situation changes rapidly, plan all trips abroad with the consideration that you might be subject to movement restrictions when returning to Estonia. 

Possible infection

If you suspect infection with coronavirus, call your family doctor or the family doctor’s advice line 1220 for advice. Do not go to the family doctor’s office. 
To prevent further spread of the virus, stay at home while waiting for the test results and when tested positive. 
Information about a person being infected with COVID-19 is sensitive personal data and must not be forwarded, except with the person’s consent. Nevertheless, employees and students are encouraged to inform the university if they turn out to be virus carriers and close contacts of a virus carrier. Rapid exchange of information helps us prevent the spread of the virus, reduce confusion resulting from the lack of information and help the Health Board. 
If an employee turns out to be a virus carrier or a close contact, we strongly recommend informing his or her immediate supervisor or the academic secretary, who is the contact person of the Health Board at the university. It would be very welcome if employees also inform their colleagues and possible close contacts.
If a student turns out to be a virus carrier or a close contact, we strongly recommend him or her to inform either
- the academic affairs specialist ,
- the programme director,
- the head of the institute, or
- especially in the evening and on weekends, the academic secretary of the university, Tõnis Karki (529 7917, tonis.karki [ät] ut.ee).
Before you notify the university, think about when the first symptoms appeared. Also, think back to the two days before the onset of symptoms and try to recall when you participated in classes and in which rooms you were. If you have no symptoms but tested positive, think back to the two days before you gave the positive test. Based on that information, the university can trace the possible close contacts and inform them of the need to self-isolate.
After that, the academic secretary, the unit and the Health Board together decide which measures must be taken in the organisation of studies as well as in the study and work environment.

Important terms

A virus carrier is a person who has tested positive for COVID-19. Virus carriers must not leave their place of residence starting from receiving the diagnosis until confirmed recovered. 
A close contact of a virus carrier is a person who has been in the same room with a virus carrier for more than 15 minutes and closer than two metres. All close contacts must stay in self-isolation for 10 days, even if they do not have any symptoms. The Health Board is responsible for identifying and notifying close contacts.  See also the Health Board's guidelines for close contacts (text in English at the end of the page).
