Coronavirus – Germany: Tests for vaccinated patients resumed – New pandemic plan

Additional measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, which is constantly increasing its incidence in Germany the country is ready to take. The plan will be presented later today by the parties negotiating the formation of the new government.

Under the weight of the fourth wave of the pandemic, which hits Germany hard and the threatened health system overload, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and the Liberals (FDP) are expected, as reported by BILD, to announce today their proposals for dealing with the situation, after November 25, when the period of “national epidemic situation” expires.

What are the measures that the parties will propose

Among the measures that the parties will propose is the restoration of free diagnostics coronavirus test, which were abolished on October 11, the obligation to perform daily tests – even for vaccinated and sick – for staff and visitors to nursing homes and rehabilitation centers and to increase parental leave in case a child is either infected or stays in quarantine or stays at home because his school is closed due to cases.

In addition, the “traffic light” coalition parties will call for greater emphasis on promoting Covid-19 booster vaccination, especially from family doctors to their older patients.

The three possible government partners, however, reject the possibility of implementing a system of exclusion of the unvaccinated from places and activities throughout the country. From today, however, the system will be implemented in Saxony, following a decision by the local government.
