“Testing will be introduced for everyone who needs to be tested. People who have a COVID certificate will show their certificate and will not need to be tested,” said Fuchs.
“We are currently discussing the mechanism and manner of testing. There are three options on the cards – testing in certified institutions or laboratories, testing in schools, and self-testing,” he added.
“If 45% of people have not been vaccinated, and I don’t know the exact number of those who have recovered, then we are talking about testing about 30,000 people. That isn’t that small a number,” he said.
It should also be taken into consideration that testing needs to be conducted every other day and that it has to be done before the teacher enters the classroom. “It’s not that simple but we intend to put it all in writing so there are not too many problems,” the minister noted.
Fuchs said that testing children was not being considered for now but that it would be if necessary.
