Do you produce food, handle it or place it on the market? Do you come into contact with these foods directly or indirectly (via consumer goods, such as plates or cutlery)? Do you want to work or be active in kitchens of restaurants, canteens and cafés or in facilities for communal catering?
Then you need a certificate from the health office that is no more than 3 months old. This proves the successful participation in an instruction about the measures for the protection against infection.
The aim of the instruction is to enable you to recognize your own symptoms of infectious diseases or symptoms of your employees at an early stage. You should also be able to prevent further spread as well as contamination of food and to assess when you should no longer carry out your activities in the event of certain symptoms.
The certificate is issued either by the health department or by a physician appointed by the health department.
