Directly from the dpa news channel
Hanover (dpa / lni) – The number of corona tests has decreased significantly in Lower Saxony. In the past week, 128,000 so-called citizen tests were carried out, the previous week there had been more than a million tests, as Health Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) said in Hanover on Tuesday.
Self-tests that can be bought in drugstores, for example, are not included in this number. According to Behrens, there are currently around 4,300 test sites in the state.
Since the beginning of April, significantly relaxed corona rules have been in force in Lower Saxony nationwide, which means that many testing obligations have been eliminated. A negative test is no longer necessary for a visit to a restaurant or leisure areas such as cinemas, fitness studios or events. Organizers or companies can, however, request this via the domiciliary rights. There is still a mandatory test for health and care facilities as well as schools and day-care centers. However, Friday is the last day on which a negative test is required for daycare or school attendance in the state.
