As is well known, older people are considered to be a particularly at risk group. A special unit of the Bavarian Red Cross tested the aged tenants and employees last Wednesday. In the course of this large-scale operation, 140 smears were made. The evaluation took place in a laboratory at the Uni-Klinik Innsbruck. It is unclear in what form the Murnau senior center can continue in view of the staff shortage. "We are trying to find a solution," says Scharf. Partial relocation to another home would be conceivable. as / price
