The federal states took note of the decision of the conference of health ministers to focus the limited availability of PCR tests on particularly vulnerable groups and on employees who care for and treat them. These are the staff in particular in hospitals, in practices, in nursing, in integration assistance facilities and for people at risk of serious illnesses.
In these cases, a suspicion of a Covid 19 infection should continue to be clarified by a PCR test. Likewise, PCR tests are to be used for high-risk patients in order to enable early treatment.
