The
new corona rapid
tests
are
systematically
used for the first time to ensure care and support
.
This means that all on-site nursing and support staff are tested daily in the early, late and night shift.
There is a strict
ban on visitors.
The goal of the state government and the result of the school summit last week is that, despite the current pandemic situation, schools should remain open in principle.
In the Dachau district, too, based on a comprehensive assessment of the current infection situation, face-to-face classes will continue to take place at all schools this week.
Revised hygiene regulations and information were sent to the schools.
This includes the general mask requirement at all schools for all classes and other people.
The ventilation concepts were also adapted in order - together with the mask requirement - to contain possible infections.
Ten schools with twelve classes and six day-care centers in the district are currently affected by an infection.
