After five confirmed corona infections in visitors who stayed at the Tropical Islands leisure resort, the hygiene concept there was checked.

The Dahme-Spreewald district announced that the health department was there on Thursday.

The hygiene concept was confirmed after the test, it said.

The health department had issued the recommendation to keep an eye on compliance with the so-called AHA rules: keep your distance, observe hygiene and wear a mask in everyday life.

According to Tropical Islands, guests who stayed there between August 18 and 22 will be informed of the cases of infection by email.

If you have symptoms, it is strongly recommended that you see a doctor.

The large pool is also popular with many guests from other federal states; according to their own statements, it is “Europe's largest tropical holiday world”.

Since August 26th, the test is again mandatory for visitors who have neither been vaccinated nor recovered.
