FH Bielefeld determines all future steps regarding measures against the corona virus according to the RKI (Robert Koch institute):
Travelers who are not from EU-member states may only enter Germany in exceptional cases if there is a compelling reason for doing so. The continuation of studies can be a compelling reason.
If you come from a risk area and would like to travel to Bielefeld:
If you have compelling reason to travel to Bielefeld from a risk area as designated by the RKI, you will either need to
a) enter self-quarantine of 14 days immediately after you have entered North Rhine Westfalia (County in which Bielefeld is located). Personal visits are not permitted or
b) provide documentation about negative Corona testing. The test must not be older than 48 hours before your travel into Germany.
Before you travel, please contact the International Office (international.office@fh-bielefeld.de) and inform them about your plans.
If you experience symptoms of fever, breathing difficulties or coughing, please immediately inform a hospital or doctor in Bielefeld and consult them by telephone beforehand. Please remember to phone them first, since the hospital and doctors would like to avoid chances of the virus spreading in the waiting rooms.
