Updated March 17, 2021

These instructions regulate the conditions for the entry of employees and students into the CTU FEE facilities, which result from the Rector's Order No. 21/2020 on reducing the risk of coronavirus infection - 4th full text

From 17 March 2021 until further notice, access to the FEE CTU buildings is limited to the activities necessary to ensure the immediate operation of the faculty, in particular:

• basic operation of buildings, for which the head of TPO, building managers and head of SVTI are responsible,

• urgent technical and construction work,

• ensuring the necessary administrative activities of the dean's office and workplaces,

• providing the necessary training, which cannot be run remotely from home.

The relevant workplace managers are always responsible for the organization and permitting of work in buildings. The incomer (employee, student) is obliged to always authorize himself / herself with the so-called chip or CTU card when entering the building.

Physical presence in the workplace is possible only if the employee or student:

1. demonstrates that he/she has undergone an RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 in the last 7 days (negative, of course), or
2. demonstrates that he/she has undergone an antigen test in the last 7 days for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen and is negative, or
3. the employee has undergone a preventive test to determine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen through a test provided by his/her employer and the result is negative (does not apply to students), or

5. has a certificate issued by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic on vaccination against COVID-19, and at least 14 days have elapsed since the application of the second dose of vaccine in the case of a two-dose schedule according to the SPC. substances in the case of a single dose schedule according to the SPC, at least 14 days have elapsed and the vaccinated person does not show any symptoms of COVID-19. The facts stated in this paragraph are proved by a certificate issued by the provider of health services (or the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic).

Procedure for testing and distribution of tests to faculty staff:

1. Ing. Chocová is in charge of the coordination of purchases and issuance of tests at the faculty workplace.
2. The workplaces of the faculty are continuously, based on their requirements, supplied with preventive tests. Tests for the workplace are taken over by a responsible person authorized by the head of the workplace (hereinafter the responsible person of the workplace).
3. The responsible person of the department fills in the data on the number of submitted tests in the file “Formular_COVID-testy.xls” and saves it in the Alfresco directory: Operational management of the facultyCovid13xxx.
4. The employee will receive a preventive test (s) at Covid from the responsible person in the workplace.
5. In the morning, before leaving for the faculty, the employee will perform a preventive test according to the instructions and record the result in the test report in the CTU application (simple instructions for using the application are available on the CTU website).
6. In case of a positive test result, the employee stays at home, informs the authorized persons of the faculty (Ing. Šmajsová and Ms. Květová, or sekretariat@fel.cvut.cz) and his/her doctor, who will order the confirmation PCR test.
7. In the case of a negative test result, the employee meets the conditions for admission to the faculty, while the test result is valid for 7 days (see Rector's Order No. 21/2020).
8. If the employee does not have a preventive test available from the faculty and does not meet the conditions listed above in points A-E., he/she is obliged to agree in advance with his/her workplace on access to the faculty. It is possible to leave a test in his/her name at the faculty gatehouse. In case of a negative result of the preventive test, he will be allowed to enter the faculty. The employee is obliged to immediately record the test result in the CTU application.
9. Faculty employees working on the basis of an agreement on the performance of work or an agreement on the performance of work can be tested, if necessary, by a preventive test of the faculty as well. The form of employment (DPP or DPČ) must be stated in the note in the application. The costs of obtaining the test are borne by the faculty. The workplace with which the worker has an agreement will equip them with the necessary test.

Information on tests and fulfillment of conditions for entry to the faculty's buildings for employees must be truthfully captured in the CTU application. By filling in false data into the application, the employee assumes the risk of a possible sanction according to the extraordinary measures of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. I do not like to mention this fact, but we must all be aware of all the consequences that we take on by filling in the data into the application.

Rector's letter to the coronavirus protection system

1. 3. 2021

Due to changes in the government regulations, we have prepared a simple (abbreviated) overview of the important points for you, which will be in force from Monday, March 1.

Restrictions on movement within the district and in Prague (Prague is take as one district, as well as one municipality):

• It will be possible to leave the place of accommodation, for example for a walk or sport activities, during the day from 5:00 to 21:00, and only within the municipality, not the district.  In Prague this means that it is possible to move around the city, from Prague 6 to Prague 1, for example, but not to leave the district of Prague.
• It is also possible to leave your accommodation for reasons specified by the government, mainly trips to the doctor, shopping and, in allowed cases, to school.
• Respiratory protection has been tightened: It is mandatory to wear a surgical mask everywhere in inhabited areas of the municipality.
• In places where there is a higher concentration of people, a respirator (e.g. FFP2/KN95) is mandatory. This will be the case in shops, indoor establishments, public transport, and at school.
• People who do not live in the same household should not meet, even outside.
• Staying in nature is possible only in the territory of the municipality. It is therefore not possible to make a trip within the whole district.  In the case of Prague, because the district of Prague and municipality of Prague are the same, if your accommodations are in Prague you are allowed to visit nature anywhere in the city.
• There is a restriction of movement between districts (or outside Prague). Simply put, you must have a sworn statement (it can also be written by hand) stating the place, time and purpose of your trip. However, in all cases it must be a trip that falls within the permitted exceptions (medical needs, urgent care for family members, etc.). It is also good to have a confirmation that proves the necessity of the trip (for example, a request from a doctor for an examination, an invitation to the government office, etc.).

Prepare for the fact that the new regulations will be more strictly controlled by the Police of the Czech Republic, which will be assisted in this by the Czech Army. The language skills of these departments are not entirely excellent, so please be patient and cooperative. We don't think that anyone would want to bother you without reason, please remember that these people are just doing their job in these difficult times.

You can follow current information that regulates the situation at CTU at https://www.cvut.cz/en/ctu-coronavirus-information.

Government regulations can also be viewed on the COVID portal https://covid.gov.cz/en/measures/outdoor-activities/movement-restriction-regulations

We understand that orienting oneself in the current situation is difficult (this also applies to Czech citizens). Therefore, do not hesitate to contact the ambassadors, the ISC (https://isc.cvut.cz/coronavirus), the vice-deans, the study department, or us. We will be happy to help you in any way we can.

Given the current epidemiological situation and the estimate of its future development, teaching in the first four weeks of the summer semester of the academic year 2020/21 will take place in a fully distance form. Any extension of the distance form will be specified based on the current situation.

3. complete version of Rector's Order No. 09/2020 on study programs and courses and examinations at CTU

23. 11. 2020

Dear colleagues,

I am writing to you in connection with the latest developments regarding the situation surrounding coronavirus and what this specifically means for teaching at our faculty. As you may have noticed, a new order from the Rector was issued on Friday, November 20, which takes effect today, ie on Monday, November 23. The main message of the new document is that CTU operations will be based on the rules specified in the scale of the Anti-Epidemic System of the Czech Republic (PES). However, individual university faculties have the opportunity to set stricter rules to reflect their needs and priorities optimally.

Although the current epidemiological situation and the overall trend in the number of diseases appear to be somewhat more favorable than in October, the faculty management have decided to continue with the current online teaching regime until the end of this calendar year. The main reason for this measure is that we want you, as employees and students, to be able to plan well in advance how the teaching will take place regardless of what level of PES is currently in place. We are taking into account, among other things, students outside Prague who do not have secured accommodation, and we want to avoid the situation in which they will have to find it overnight.

I believe that you will understand / appreciate our approach and use the time until the end of the year for the most intensive work during study or teaching and its provision. At present, the possibility of individual consultations and laboratory measurements for projects related to final theses applies. Each student arranges an individual consultation with his / her final thesis or project supervisor in advance. If the further development of the epidemiological situation allows it, we would like to start block teaching of practical laboratories after the New Year. We will start planning this step this week.

I wish you all good health and enough energy to meet the challenges of this extraordinary time.

Kind regards,

Petr Páta, Dean

Teaching in winter semester 2020/2021

As you know, due to the limitations of the epidemiological situation, we switched to distance learning from the beginning of the semester. Unlike the previous semester, we did not have to switch to distance learning "on the go". At that time, the faculty had to react and take a number of necessary measures to ensure the pedagogical process, such as adjusting the time schedule, conditions for advancement to the next year, etc.

In this semester, there is no reason to take similar measures. The faculty monitors the development of the situation and in case of unfavorable development of the pandemic and pedagogical situation it is ready to react immediately.

Students have the opportunity to actively "manage" their studies. By the end of this week (until October 2), students have the opportunity to cancel any course that they think they would not be able to complete succesfully, thus preventing unnecessary one course registration from two possible course registrations. Later cancellation is not allowed. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to use the helpfulness of teachers and agree on, for example, a more suitable teaching time or schedule for checking teaching, etc.

Students should also respond immediately to problems with distance learning, poor contact with the teacher, with inappropriate teaching aids, etc. It is not worth complaining retroactively after the end of the semester that there were situations that hindered the proper process of teaching.

18. 9. 2020

Due to the epidemiological situation and in accordance with the Rector's Order No. 16/2020 On reduction the risk of coronavirus infection, all contact teaching is suspended from 21 September 2020 until further notice and is transferred to a distance form. All information about the form and location of distance learning will always be given for each subject in Moodle or Courseware. On-line distance learning will take place in the time defined by the standard schedule using a communication tool chosen by the teacher.
