In Germany, due to the highly infectious omicron variant, the number of detected corona infections is rising to new highs from day to day.

That is why the federal and state governments have just decided that in future the PCR tests of employees in the health sector and particularly vulnerable people will be given priority. Otherwise not much should change.

Werner Bartens, doctor and “medicine man of the SZ”, answers all the important questions: from helpful medication, how long you should take it easy, to the question of what a “mild course” actually means.
