Baden-Württemberg is tightening quarantine rules because of the new variant of the Corona virus. These rules apply from 15 December. The most important changes: All those tested positive must be quarantined for ten days. This counts from the day the infection was detected by a test. People who have had close contact with people who have tested positive must isolate themselves for 14 days. Those infected with the Omicron variant cannot shorten the quarantine period by testing. For infections with other virus variants, the following applies: those tested positive can only end quarantine prematurely from the seventh day onwards by testing negative, but only if they have been vaccinated. Uninfected persons in quarantine can be cleared from the seventh day onwards. A rapid test is sufficient for this. The fast-spreading Omicron variant of the virus has arrived in the district of Tübingen. The Tübingen District Office keeps reporting new cases of the virus.
