The corona numbers nationwide and in Baden-Württemberg are increasing rapidly, so we ask you to take a look at the current corona conditions directly on our website before registering / attending a course.

At the moment (as of Dezember, 6th 2021) the following applies: The state of Baden-Württemberg is on the Corona alert level, which means that you need proof of vaccination or proof of recovery and a test (2G+) to access a vh course. Excluded from the extended test obligation are people with a booster vaccination or whose vaccination was less than three months ago or those who have recovered and whose infection can be proven to be less than three months ago.

3G with PCR test only applies to outdoor activities in the area of sport. Apart from a few exceptions, you also have to wear a mask in class.

We know that PCR testing is expensive. As an adult education center, we are obliged to implement the regulations of the state of Baden-Württemberg. And: To our greatest regret, the vh is not able - we have 30,000 - 50,000 participants annually - to reimburse the participants for the costs of a test in part or in full. We ask for your understanding.

The following are exempt from the obligation to carry out a PCR test:

• Professional training and further education as well as integration courses and integration language courses (negative antigen test or, better yet, PCR test required. For events lasting several days, 2 tests per week)
• People who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons (medical evidence required, negative antigen test required)
• People for whom there is no general vaccination recommendation from the Standing Vaccination Commission (STIKO) (negative antigen test required)
• People under 18 who no longer go to school (negative antigen test required)
• School-age children and adolescents (testing in school)
• Children up to and including 7 years of age who have not yet started school
• Children under 6 years

Important: The PCR tests are valid for 48 hours from the time of the test result or test result! (See ​​the date and time on the test certificate).

Here's an example:
One participant takes a test at 9:00 a.m. at the family doctor on Monday.
He sends it in and the laboratory created / certified the result on Monday at 5:00 p.m.
The doctor receives the result on Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m. Then the test is valid until Wednesday 5:00 p.m., as the test result was issued by the laboratory on Monday 5:00 p.m.
