VdK wants testing for clinics and homes
In view of the increasing number of corona outbreaks in care facilities and hospitals, the social association VdK demands that all visitors and employees must test. “Such an obligation is urgently necessary regardless of the vaccination status. The number of infected people is rising again across Germany, at the same time people who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered can also transmit the virus. It must therefore now be acted quickly,” said VdK President Verena Bentele. Bentele called on politicians to adopt such a test obligation. “As soon as this requirement has been met, facility managers and clinic directors must ensure that free tests are offered to all visitors and employees and only those who have tested negative are allowed access. Human lives are at stake.”
