It is mandatory to wear a face covering on the ÖBB Nightjet. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. These include if you are staying in your own compartment without other passengers, when you are sleeping, when eating or drinking, for children up to the age of 6 and for people with medical conditions who are exempt due to health reasons.
You are responsible for bringing your own face covering with you.
Please maintain a safe distance from other passengers.
If you need to cough, please do so into the crook of your arm or into a tissue.
