LIVE | Cabinet wants priority corona test for healthcare and education staff | Inland

The cabinet wants some of the care and teaching staff to be given priority when administering a corona test. It is not yet clear how the priority rule should work in practice. This is discussed with the GGDs. Minister De Jonge will announce more later this evening. The NOS reports that.

This concerns teaching staff from primary and secondary education, not from MBO or higher education. The childcare sector is also excluded from the priority regulation. The reasoning behind this ‘priority rule’ is that it has a major social impact if children in primary and secondary education cannot go to school.

Their parents often have to stay home from work. It concerns a total of 2.5 million students.
