• You scan the test result via smartphone using the pass.me app. As a participant, you will also receive a QR sticker that you must stick to the test before reading the code.

• Download the free pass.me app from the website (mindnow.io/pass-me/) and follow the instructions in the app.

• You will receive a COVID-19 self-test from Roche, a self-adhesive label with the QR code for the antigen test (compatible with the pass.me app), a declaration of consent and a “how to” information text.

• Your identity card
• Your event ticket on the SUD app or printed out on paper (your registration confirmation)
• Your negative COVID-19 self-test scanned on the pass.me app or alternatively a Swiss Corona certificate of a PCR test that is not older than 72 hours.
• The signed declaration of consent

• Download the pass.me app on your smartphone.
• Take the COVID-19 self-test at your own responsibility within 24 hours before the event starts, on 22 June 2021.
• Stick the QR sticker on your test result and scan it with the pass.me app. Alternatively, you can have your Swiss Corona certificate of a PCR test that is not older than 72 hours ready and show it at the check-in.

• According to the guidelines of the FOPH (BAG), the following procedure applies:
• The positive result of the rapid test initially only triggers the suspicion that you have been infected with the corona virus. Have the test result confirmed with a PCR test by a doctor, in a test centre or in a pharmacy.
• Stay at home until the test result is known.
• If the result of the PCR test is positive, all precautionary measures of the Canton of Bern and isolation apply.
• If the result of the PCR test is negative, nothing stands in the way of your participation.

• We are a COVID-19 pilot project with 600 participants. In order to ensure the greatest safety for all participants and to provide additional relief from the measures, all participants must test negative.
• During the event, participants can eat and drink (finger food) standing up. For this purpose, participants can continue to move freely from room to room. This is an important component of our event concept to support efficient networking.
• Outdoors, but within the event perimeter that we monitor and control, participants can also take off their masks.
• The negative COVID-19 self-test is also necessary until all persons have been vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19. Furthermore, it has not yet been conclusively clarified whether vaccinated persons can pass on viruses to unvaccinated or recovered persons without falling ill themselves. Therefore, as a COVID-19 pilot project, we rely on negative tests for everyone without exceptions (read more about it from FOPH (dt. BAG)).

• If you are travelling alone by car, you do not need to wear a mask.
• If you arrive by public transport, please wear a mask according to official regulations.
• Once you arrive at the Kursaal, you must wear a mask for the entire duration of your stay.

• Come to the Kursaal and receive a COVID-19 antigen test and temperature check. The antigen test (nasofaringeal swab) is performed by medically trained staff. Please note: If several people arrive at the same time without a QR code or certificate of negative test result, there may be waiting times here. Please arrive earlier in this case, to allow extra time for the needed testing.
• This process will cause waiting times, so please arrive at the Kursaal with a negative COVID-19 self-test or Swiss Corona certificate.

• Arrive at the Kursaal and receive another COVID-19 antigen test and temperature check. The antigen test (nasofaringeal swab) is performed by medically trained staff. You will receive your test result within minutes. Please note: If several people arrive at the same time without a QR code or certificate of the negative test result, there may be a waiting time. Please arrive earlier in this case, to allow extra time for the needed testing.
• Alternatively, you can present a Swiss Corona certificate on paper or your mobile phone.

If your Swiss Corona Certificate was issued for a PCR test that is not older than 72 hours, you have also provided the necessary proof for a valid negative test and are of course admitted to the event.

• The saftey check-In as well as the testing process for the untested take a lot of time. Therefore, we ask all participants to complete their COVID-19 self-test before arriving at the event and to scan it with the pass.me app.
• Due to the required entry process, waiting times at the entrance must be expected. Please arrive well in time.

• At the beginning we carry out a safety check-in: We will take your temperature, scan your COVID-19 test result, check your ID card and take your declaration of consent.
• During the event, all attendees will wear a mask, except during eating/drinking or outside.

• The RFID is a device-independent system. This means that the mobile phones and thus their batteries are not burdened.
• Movement data is only recorded within the event perimeter and stored anonymously.
• Thanks to this movement data, not all persons who attended the startup days would have to go into quarantine after the event, even in the case of a COVID-19 illness of a participant. The group of people affected could thus be narrowed down considerably.

• Isolate yourself. Follow the instructions of your doctor.
• Scan your test result using the pass.me app.
• We will be notified by the Canton’s tracking team so that we can initiate a data trace based on the RFID tracing. This way we can track who you had contact with and for how long. Only persons who have been in contact with the person tested positive for more than 15 minutes at a distance of less than 1.5 m must have a PCR test carried out as soon as possible by a doctor, in a test centre or in a pharmacy. Further procedure according to the then valid instructions of the FOPH (dt. BAG) or the various cantonal doctors.
