Garden party with friends - do I need a test?

The incidences in Germany are falling and the first easing is spreading.

Here and there there is no longer any obligation to test.

But what about the garden party with friends?

After the number of corona infections is falling and the number of fully vaccinated people is increasing, the country is starting to relax.

These have been in effect for both those who have recovered and those who have been completely vaccinated since the beginning of May.

These groups often no longer need to show a negative corona test.

One consequence of the current easing (as of June 18, 2021) is also the easing of contact restrictions.

Of course, the relevant regulations of the individual federal states must also be taken into account here.

In regions where the 7-day incidence is below 35, two other households are allowed to meet in addition to your own.

The total number of people is then 10.

Garden party with friends - with or without a test?

The claim is as follows: Anyone who only comes together to barbecue with fully vaccinated and recovered people does not need a test. In fact, that's true. Experts then recommend a test as soon as non-immunized people also take part in the garden party. In any case, the fact is that according to the exception ordinance of May 9, 2021, fully vaccinated and convalescent people are granted more freedom. This also means easier contact restrictions, since “people who have been vaccinated and recovered at private get-togethers are no longer counted”. But that is not a free ticket for a safe meeting. "The probability that a person will become PCR-positive despite a complete vaccination is low, but not zero," says the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). Despite the vaccination, it is still recommended to use the

There is basically no compulsory test for the garden party.

Nevertheless, Carsten Watzl, Secretary General of the German Society for Immunology (DGfI) and DGfI President Christine Falk advise a

as soon as

participate in the barbecue evening.

After all, the risk of infection is higher then.

The DGfI President advises to take better protection and "not to give the virus any room to spread".
