Coronavirus - Measures Lifted

Update 17.02.22 The Federal Council and the Canton of Bern have decided that almost all protective measures are lifted with immediate effect. For our courses, this means in particular that the obligation to wear masks indoors and the obligation to obtain a certificate will no longer apply.

Despite the lifting of the protective measures, the coronavirus is still with us. We therefore appeal to your personal responsibility to show consideration for one another and continue to adhere to the hygiene rules which have been established.
