b. They were tested positive with COVID-19 in the past 30 to 90 days. This can be proved either by presenting a positive PCR molecular or an antigen test result performed by an authorized laboratory or a medical certificate confirming that the holder was tested positive with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. The certificate is issued 30 days after the day of the first positive COVID-19 test and is valid for 90 days.

Acceptable vaccines: Pfizer BioNtech, Moderna, Astra Zeneca/Oxford, Novavax,

All participants (teachers and students) must also have a negative PCR certificate from a testing laboratory for a Covid-19 test taken no later than 72 hours before their arrival on the 6th April 2022.

Teachers and students may have an additional Rapid test upon their arrival in Athens or during the Symposium, if this is required for their transportation back to homeland. In this case the test will be conducted by the medical unit of the Symposium and parents of underage participants must declare in writing their approval in order for the medical team to proceed to the rapid test. The organizers will provide to the teachers a consent form, that has to be filled in und signed by the parents of the students (more information will follow).
