00.01 a.m
.: Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) wants to prepare Germany for a possible further increase in the number of corona infections: Advice centers, a new test strategy and special protection for risk groups should help.
"In autumn we need regional and local so-called fever clinics to which patients with classic respiratory symptoms such as corona and flu can turn," said Spahn of the "Rheinische Post".
Spahn emphasized that he was counting on the statutory health insurance associations to offer such central contact points on site.
"Conceptually, they already exist - ideally they should be widely accessible in autumn."
Spahn wants to take his time until mid-October to further develop the test strategy.
