- Every visitor is asked to wear a mask throughout the visit of our campuses
- Every visitor has to undergo a body temperature check and fill out a health questionnaire
- Visitors traveling from the list of countries at risk must undergo a 10-day-quarantine when arriving in Switzerland and before visiting our schools
