Employees may remove their mouth-and-nose coverings oncethey have reached their workspace.
• Workspaces used by more than one employee (e.g.,certain devices, function rooms) can only be used in alternation without amouth-and-nose covering if their crossing pathways accommodate the minimumdistance of 1.5 metres.
• The ongoing use of workspaces in which the minimumdistance cannot be ensured is not allowed even with a mouth-and-nose covering.The short-term use of workspaces (e.g. elevators) in which the minimum distancecannot be observed is possible with a mouth-and-nose covering.

• In individual cases, structural preconditions may existto integrate a corridor area into a workspace in such a way that paths do notcross (e.g., separated laboratory areas without through traffic, radiationprotection areas, S2 laboratory areas). This is to be ensured by technical measures(door locking systems), or signage and instructions. In such cases, themouth-and-nose covering may also be removed.

Offices:

• There is no requirement to wear a mouth-and-nosecovering in single offices; the office qualifies as work area.
