School starts in autumn. With regard to delta, recommendations for adolescents to get vaccinated, progress of vaccination, etc.:

1. Are you preparing/discussing specific measures/strategies for the start of schools in autumn (Y/N) ?

2. Which measures are in place / planned for schools in your country / region?

• Different rules apply for children <12 years and those >12 years: Y/N
• Split classes / alternate terms: Y/N
• Mandatory face-masks: Y/N
• Regular testing of school-kids: Y/N
• Regular testing of teachers/staff: Y/N
• Distance teaching/learning: Y/N

Daily new infections are increasing at tremendous pace throughout Europe due to the Omicron variant

• Are there any (further) containment measures (i.e. closure of businesses, closure of bars, closure of schools/kindergardens, restrictions in private or public gatherings, wearing nose-mouth masks indoor/outdoor) planned in your country? If yes, which measures? If not, please kindly explain reasons for not introducing any measures?
• If you are using risk classification systems to assess the current epidemiological risk in your country/its regions (“traffic light” systems): have you made or are you planning to make changes to them (indicators, thresholds)?

Overview of current national / international duration of “vaccination passes” / “recovered passes”

1. What is the duration of your digital certificates / vaccination passes on a national or international level (in case there is a difference)?

2. Please explain:

• if there is any difference between the vaccine given (i.e. AZ/ Pfizer/ Moderna/ J&J/ other)?
• if there is any difference when persons are boostered or not?

Update on nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and measures in countries

Updates on country strategies regarding COVID-19 vaccination and mass testing

Updates on country strategies regarding Rapid Antigen Tests and overall diagnostic strategy

Are Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT) being used to:

• Find more cases to ask to isolate?
• Allow pepole who test negative to do things which otherwise would not be allowed e.g. fly, visit care homes and hospitals, reduce isolation duration?

1. (Regional) risk classification or traffic light systems

• Which indicators and thresholds are used in order to change the risk level/class or traffic light of the systems?
  We are particularly interested in threshold values and/or ranges of incidences.

2. Measures around Christmas holidays

• Have any measures been taken before winter/Christmas to better prepare the Healthcare system for the 3rd wave?
  (e.g. new beds/infrastructure/hiring new people)

Protocols/procedures in moribund COVID-19 patients

• Are there specific protocols or procedures for the treatment of moribund COVID-19 patients all the way through death and burial available in your country? If yes, what kind of protocols or procedures are in place/available?

Is there any reduction in infection rates in vaccinated persons already visible?
