Corona Regulations @ Deadline

  • No sleeping hall available this time (as the sleeping hall would not be properly ventilated, unlike the main hall).
  • Please refrain from coming when you’re not feeling well or have any covid-related symptoms. Just write us a mail and we will fully reimburse your entry-fee, no questions asked.
  • We will make use of the new ventilation system the ORWOHaus has in place. On its maximum level, it can exchange the air of the whole hall within around 10 minutes.
  • Please test yourself before attending the event, if possible, to minimize the risk for your own and everybody else.
  • No mask obligation, but we will nevertheless provide free masks at the impfodesk and at the dance floor for everybody to use as they see fit.
  • We will provide buttons with different colours which you can use (optionally) to indicate your preferred way of human contact (see picture above)
  • We will provide additional tables to offer some opportunities for people who like to keep some distance to find a separate place, while groups can of course still sit together. (this is of course somewhat limited by the space available, but we’ll do our best)
  • Of course there will be hand-sanitizers ready, eg. at the impfodesk, gaming area, toilets and bar.
  • We will hire an external cleaning service to do some extra rounds at the toilets during the party.
  • Please note: If there will be additional measures mandated by the Berlin Senate we will need to adhere to them according to the law.
