⑦ When you are abroad

• Rules regarding COVID-19
  • The NE must comply and follow the instructions by the HE about any preventive measures to be taken in the face of exposure to COVID -19, in the place where the exchange is carried out under the EYE Programme.
  • The NE needs to follow regularly official information by national public authorities of home and host region/country regarding measures related to the outbreak of COVID-19. We advise to use in addition the Re-open EU application to keep track of the situation: https://reopen.europa.eu/.
    For Germany we recommend the website of Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) https://www.rki.de/EN/Home/homepage_node.html and the information of the Federal Foreign Office https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/einreiseundaufenthalt/coronavirus
• Disclaimer:
  Neither the IO nor SO, EC or EASME can be held accountable if the NE gets infected by COVID-19 during the exchange given that the destination country is the NE’s choice. If the country chosen has a high infection rate, we advise the NE to wait until the situation becomes more stable. As outlined in the financial agreement the NE bears the responsibility of having a valid health insurance according to programme rules. The programme does not cover health insurance and it is not the responsibility of the IO, EC, SO or EASME.
