This also corresponds to an increase of 650 (!) cases in the last two weeks.

The Corona measures were changed again on Tuesday by Health Minister Johannes Rauch from the Greens. According to this, the free tests will not be completely stamped in as previously planned, but will be limited to five antigen and PCR tests each per month. In addition, unvaccinated contact persons no longer have to be in quarantine – in order to counteract imminent staff shortages, they can work with a mask and also go out for shopping and walking, but they are not allowed to attend events.
