Furthermore, visits from guests from countries that are designated as high risk areas are not funded. Funds will only be disbursed again once the travel warning for that country has been lifted or the designation as a high-risk area has been removed.
Guests or delegations from areas not ranked as high-risk areas may visit under compliance with the hygiene regulations.
