Daycare centers and schools freed from corona tests

The obligation to test also comes to an end for day care facilities and day care centers for children. This is what the Ministry of Education writes on its homepage. There are exceptions for special education and counseling centers and school kindergartens with a focus on mental and physical-motor development. There, testing will continue to be mandatory from Monday, April 25, until the summer holidays. Staff and students there have to be tested… Read More

Test result suffices as proof for quarantine

Employees no longer need to go to the regulatory office for a quarantine certificate. A PCR or rapid test result from an official testing station is sufficient proof that employees infected with Corona have been in quarantine. Employees present this proof to their employer. The employer can then apply to the state for loss of earnings. The regional council is responsible for this. Previously, the employer needed a certificate of isolation from the Ordnungsamt for this. If an employer does not accept the test certificate but requires the certificate, the Ordnungsamt will continue to issue this certificate. This writes the… Read More

Final exams at schools: more time and additional tasks

The final exams at schools are running a little differently this year, too. The reason is the Corona pandemic. The total time for completing the tasks will be extended.

In concrete terms, this means that for exams with a total working time of 180 minutes or more, there will be an additional 30 minutes. If the total working time is shorter, 15 minutes extra are added. However, this does not… Read More
