Corona rapid tests are now mostly chargeable

Lauterbach: “The expiry of the free corona tests is correct”

The SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach supports the end of the free corona rapid tests. “The expiry of the free corona tests is correct,” said Lauterbach of the Düsseldorf “Rheinische Post” (Monday). “It would be wrong to pay those who refuse to show solidarity with vaccination unlimited solidarity for the tests.”

The municipalities also welcome the move. “We do not assume that the discontinued free tests lead to serious social conflicts,” said the chief executive of the Association of Cities and Towns, Gerd Landsberg, the editorial network Germany (RND) on Monday. “In view of a vaccination rate of 80 percent in adults, this is the right step,” said the President of the German District Association, Reinhard Sager, the newspapers of the Funke media group.
