Re: [113attendees] IETF 113 Update: 2022-02-10

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

Greg, *:

Thanks a lot for the update, but i am disappointed that the FAQ does not explain
the crucial problem wrt to vaccination, even though i did bring up this topic some
weeks ago and asked for it to be documented:

a) Entry into Austria is with WHO approved vaccine. WHich includes for example sinovac
   WHich means its no problem to get into Austria given how the IETF also expects you
   to be WHO vaccinated.

b) Overnight stay in a Vienna Hotel requires EMA approved vaccination. This has not
   changed with the updated rules from Feb 12th, even though it is unclear whether
   that is a voluntary rules by hotels or a city mandate
   (https://coronavirus.wien.gv.at/neue-corona-regeln/).

c) I just called the Hilton and they did not know whether the relaxation for rules
   from March 5th on (as just announced) would include removal of the 2G rule for hotels
   in Vienna. The hotel speculated that it could be converted to 3G for overnight stay.

It would be good to at least make IETF community members with non-EMA approved vaccines
aware of the issue in the FAQ.

Thanks
    Toerless
