After Christmas, vaccination teams were on site in a Bavarian retirement home.
The home manager now blames those employees for a corona outbreak in the facility.
Lichtenfels - The accusations weigh heavily: A
retirement home
in Bavaria Lichtenfels (district Lichtenfels) throws
vaccination teams
before, the
coronavirus
to have been introduced into the facility.
Vaccination in Bavaria: Altenheim blames vaccination teams for the corona outbreak
After Christmas, employees of a vaccination team were working in the nursing home.
According to
BR
,
managing director
Fabian Franke
clearly
blames
the employees
for the subsequent
Corona *
outbreak
in his facility
.
According to Franke, a total of 13 residents and twelve employees tested positive for the virus on Monday evening.
He expects further positive results.
Franke justifies
his
allegations as
follows: The vaccination team employees are the only people who were
in the facility
during the period in question without a
Corona *
test result
.
But that's not all: He also
accuses the employees of
violating
the
Corona rules
.
Some of them are said to have only changed in the old people's home, and minimum distances were not observed either.
Lichtenfels / Bavaria: After Corona allegations against vaccination teams - district office rejects allegations
The
managing director mentioned
another indication
of his allegations
to the
BR
: The corona outbreak occurred in the entire home.
Residents who otherwise
live
very isolated
would also have contracted the virus.
The first
Corona *
symptoms
appeared
in seniors last week
.
Reliable PCR tests would not have been made until four days later.
Franke therefore accuses the
health department of
having reacted too slowly to the corona outbreak.
The
Lichtenfels
district office
has meanwhile taken a position on the case: it
clearly
knows the
allegations
back.
All affected doctors and employees would have confirmed that they wore FFP2 masks, uniforms and protective gowns during the deployment in the nursing home, according to the
BR
.
Corona outbreak in old people's home: District Office makes it clear - no misconduct by employees
Apart from that, the
risk
of virus infection with the
Corona *
vaccination is
very low.
There would only be a brief contact here, during which the vaccinating person wore protective clothing.
In addition, the vaccination team employees would check for Corona * symptoms every day.
Anyone with clear signs would be isolated and tested.
Up until the beginning of the week, the vaccination teams were on their way to
twelve
initial vaccination
facilities
.
Apart from the nursing home in Lichtenfels, the district office is not aware of any further downstream corona outbreak.
The final
conclusion of
the office: There is no logical conclusion that would allow employees to behave incorrectly.
The corona vaccinations are actually voluntary.
However, a Bavarian dentist gave his employees a choice: Either they get vaccinated - or there is no salary.
