The situation in schools is currently tense, but stable, said an official. The main goal is that the children and young people can attend school and complete their semester and graduate regularly.
Since higher case numbers were recorded after the holidays, especially at the Sekundarstufe II, the high school students and Berufsschule students will stay home in a special week after the Christmas holidays until January 11, 2021.
Germany decided to put Switzerland on their list of high risk countries. This generally means that when entering Germany from Switzerland, one has to either present a negative Covid-Test or go into a 14 days quarantine. #CoronaInfoCH
Instead of quarantine: One can, as mentioned, present a Covid-Test that is not older than 48 hours. After entering without a test and going into quarantine, a test can be made too. Quarantine can also be ended once a negative test result is present.
