Nursing home: visit from Monday only with a negative corona test | NDR.de – news

Status: December 17th, 2020 5:10 am

From Monday, visits to the nursing home are only possible with a negative test. The corresponding rapid tests should be offered in the homes if possible, according to Social Affairs Minister Stefanie Drese (SPD).

The aim is not to completely isolate the elderly residents again, as in the spring, so more tests must now be carried out. This is what Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Minister of Social Affairs Stefanie Drese (SPD) said after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday evening in Schwerin. The state government has placed a large order for 400,000 rapid tests. Around half should arrive at the homes in the next few days. The German Armed Forces provide personal support for carrying out the test, says Drese.

Permitted visit interval depends on the incidence value

From Monday, the staff in the homes must also be tested twice a week. In addition to a hygiene and protection concept, every facility is also obliged to develop a test concept. Residents are only allowed to be visited by a previously specified person, as the incidence value nationwide is over 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants.

This one visitor is allowed to come every day for the time being. If the incidence value rises to over 100, a visit is only possible three times a week. If the incidence is greater than 200, only one visit per week is allowed. In any case, the benchmark is the nationwide incidence value and not the incidence value of the district or urban district.
