CoronaVirus Updates - The Return of the Green Pass

Dear BGU Community,

From August 2, 2021, and in accordance with instructions, the Green Pass will come into effect. Please see the updated instructions:

1. Any event taking place in a closed space with 100 or more participants, requires the approval of the Corona coordinator, who will then give relevant instructions. Please complete the online form.

2. Regarding any event / conference taking place in a building with part in an open space for 100 or more people, which includes the serving of or sale of food: entrance will be permitted only to those with a Green Pass or those with a negative test from the previous 72 hours (PCR, not a quick test).

3. We would like to remind you that the wearing of masks in closed spaces on campus is obligatory. There is proof that the Delta variant is contagious during a shorter period of exposure and as such, mask wearing is much more important than it was in the past!

4. Please report immediately to the Coronavirus coordinator any case of a staff member / student / guest who have tested positive and who have been on campus. One of the most important ways to prevent mass infection is in quickly taking steps to isolate those who have been in contact with a verified patient. Online report form

5. A staff member who does not feel well (fever, breathing difficulties, cough), even if he is vaccinated, should have a test carried out by his health provider and follow their instructions. Please do not come to work until you have a negative test.

6. We would like to remind you not to bring children to work. Now, during the summer vaca considering the rise in Coronavirus infection rates and the fact that children are not vaccinated, it's especially important to follow regulations.

Please keep yourself and others safe.
