When will Corona rules be final?
Never, unfortunately. However, we assume that travel restrictions will not change anymore now.
Covid vaccines and tests - what are the rules?
Covid rules for Austria can still change, but we do not assume so anymore. We are doing our best to set rules to allow attending the event for as many as possible. We are at the same time bound by pandemic laws possibly being adapted per the development of the pandemic.
Following are Covid Rules and Regulations for the Event:
You have to be fully vaccinated or recovered from a covid infection.
The standard to which you are vaccinated must align with the guidelines of your home country. This is a compulsory requirement in order to attend. The only exception is when a participant is medically exempt, without access to a recognised vaccine of the host country, or has recovered from COVID within 6 months.
Any reason for not being fully vaccinated can now be explained on the health form on myCISV and evidence for the lack of vaccination such as medical notes can be uploaded here also.
Where is my registration data stored?
Your data is stored in the CISV International website platform. The platform is secured and covered by the CISV International Privacy Policy. For approval of registration and for the management of the event, data will be shared with the home staff, facilitators, the NAR Beamers and the EJB Team. Data will only be shared via secure CISV platforms.
What forms do I have to fill and how?
After successful registration and approval of the same, you will be assigned to the event on
myCISV. For filling your forms, sign in to
myCISV, find the event in
My Programmes and check the
"Forms" tile on the Programme Overview page for the forms to fill.

Covid Testing: What rules do I have to follow? What possibilities do I have?
As said in answers above, you have to present a valid negative test result (in addition to your certificate of vaccination or recovery; PCR not older than 48 hours; Antigen not older than 24 hours).
-> Vienna International Airport offers the following testing possibility:
https://www.viennaairport.com/coronatest
-> The City of Vienna offers the following possibilities (still for free, at the moment of writing this FAQ-answer):

Beware, that test results may be delayed with these possibilities. So, if after arrival you proceed directly to IJBC check-in, have a test result ready from before your departure to comply with our rules (tests in the City of Vienna sometimes provide results within some hours, but this cannot be taken for granted; please read the details on the links provided).
You will also be tested during the event. This is just a precautionary measure.
We cannot let you into the IJBC facility if you do not present a valid, compliant negative test result.
What if i get tested positive for Covid-19 during my stay in Austria?
- You will have to quarantine (isolate) until your PCR Test shows that you no longer are infected with Covid-19 (recovered).
- You can make this Test no earlier than 5 days from your first positive Covid-19 test result and only when there have been no symptoms for at least 48 hours.
Quarantine (isolation):
- You have to be in an isolated room until tested negative
- We will have rooms on the campsite for the purpose but cannot guarantee for one to be available at the time.
- Therefore, it may become possible to be quarantined at a hotel suitable for this purpose.
Length of quarantine:
- The length of the quarantine period can be longer than the IJBC event itself.
- Latest after the Workshop we cannot provide you with housing possibilities, so you would have to quarantine in a hotel for sure. We will of course assist in directions and transportation.
Costs of quarantine:
- Any costs arising due to a positive Covid-19 test (e.g. hotel costs, missed filghts, etc.) cannot be paid for by CISV Austria!
What are the most important Covid measures to follow for attending IJBC?
- During most of the time you might be wearing a mask.
- Please bring at least 5 FFP2 Masks with you, so we can ensure everyone has enough to change during the day.
- Bring your own Waterbottle.
- Do not forget your official Vaccination/Recovery certificate and the official test you have to bring.
- During the whole event we will be living in a bubble on the campsite; this means, that nobody will be able to leave the campsite
What are the most important safeguarding measures I need to follow?
- If you have any needs in regards to health, mental health, ... or other, which you would like to address (prior to or during event), do not hesitate to message us (on the IJBC address or tell us during IJBC 2022. We obviously will handle these concerns with utmost care.

There will be no hard liquor allowed on the campsite. Do not bring any alcohol to the campsite, especially no hard liquor.
