High school graduates worry about their future careers because of the pandemic

Update from March 18, 12 noon:

Because of the effects of the corona pandemic, according to a survey, worries about their professional future are increasing among students.

This was announced by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nuremberg on Thursday.

In total, the institute asked 3,000 high school graduates born in 2021 how they rate their job prospects.

While in spring 2020, according to the information, 25 percent of students were still worried about their professional future, in autumn 2020 it was a total of 41 percent.

Young people with a migration background in particular have more fears about their career path.

The subjective well-being of young people has also deteriorated in the wake of the pandemic.

Overall, a third of high school graduates complained of high psychological stress in spring 2020, half of them in autumn 2020, the press release said.

Many of the students would therefore use personal career counseling, even if this can currently only take place digitally.

"However, even with a first vaccination you are well protected against a severe course of an infection," said the message.

"There is no danger if you skip the second vaccination."

The city gave a clear recommendation to people who had already been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine: "Anyone who develops persistent headaches 4 to 14 days after vaccination with AstraZeneca or discovers punctiform skin bleeding should urgently seek medical treatment."

Nuremberg: Söder focuses on corona tests in schools

Update from March 12, 12:08 p.m.:

The press conference is over.

In conclusion, it can be said that Bavaria wants to rely on the two pillars of “testing” and “vaccination”.

The focus is particularly on testing in schools from next week.

But Söder criticized the low willingness to test among students and staff.

However, he emphasized that there would be no compulsory testing, as this alone would not be legally permissible.

It looks different with vaccination.

Here, too, the head of the country emphasized that there would be no compulsory vaccination.

But he spoke of the fact that vaccinated people should have more rights and more freedoms.

In order for the vaccination to proceed faster, from April the Free State will increasingly involve family doctors in the vaccination process.

Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) is already conducting talks, said Söder.

The plan could only fail if there were enough vaccine doses.

Bavaria wants to rely on the vaccination participation of the resident doctors before all other federal states.

Corona in Nuremberg: Söder wants to present the vaccination option in doctor's offices

Update 12:03 p.m.:

The incidence

value

in Nuremberg has risen to over 100.

OB König once again explained the consequences of the increase.

For the schools, the value on Friday is crucial.

Therefore the schools stayed closed for the coming week.

Only a constant value above 100 over more than three days in a row would also have consequences for retail.

Then there could be no more Click & Meet, so König.

Update 11:59 am:

Starting next week, more tests are to be carried out in schools.

Similar to Nuremberg, there should be test offers directly at the schools.

Older students can also take a quick test at home.

But Söder complained about the willingness of the students and teachers to test.

There is no way to make a test mandatory.

He therefore appealed to those affected to be tested voluntarily.

Update 11.55 a.m.:

Söder wants to speak to the general practitioners early and early enough so that the vaccination can start there from April.

But there is still a lack of vaccine at the moment.

However, with the attempt to vaccinate against corona via the established practices, one also wants to serve as a model for the other federal states, so Söder.

Corona in Nuremberg: Söder wants freedom for vaccinated people - but rejects mandatory vaccination

Update 11:52 am:

"Everything is going great in Nuremberg," said Söder, praising his hometown.

Nevertheless, the incidence value in Nuremberg is again above 100. Therefore, the city decided to return to distance teaching from next week.

Update 11.49 a.m.:

Another important point to combat pandemic are the tests.

With rapid tests, there could be a lot of relaxation.

Even in areas such as culture and gastronomy, there can only be openings with quick tests.

Söder also spoke of a test certificate that gives you more freedom for a short time.

Update 11.45 a.m.:

Markus Söder opened the press conference.

He stands in front of the entrance door of the Sigena grammar school in Nuremberg.

First of all, the Prime Minister speaks about vaccination.

The vaccination of the elderly and home residents is largely done.

Now, with the help of general practitioners, they want to broaden their position in order to be able to vaccinate even more people.

A vaccination certificate is also required so that a person who has been vaccinated “does not have the same restrictions as someone who has not been vaccinated”.

But Söder emphasizes again that there will be no compulsory vaccination.

Corona in Nuremberg: Söder speaks at a press conference

Update from March 12, 11:34 a.m.:

In a few minutes, Nuremberg's Lord Mayor Marcus König (CSU) and Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) will hold a press conference.

Before that, they looked at the test concept at a high school in Söders hometown Nuremberg.

Update from March 12, 10:56 a.m.:

No sooner had the city

broken

the incidence

mark

of 100 than new measures were already decided.

Actually, starting next Monday, March 15th, more students should come to the alternate classes again, but nothing will come of it for now.

As the city announced in a current press release, all classes - with the exception of the final classes - will go back to distance learning from Monday.

This should stay that way for the whole of the coming week.

For the daycare centers in Nuremberg, that means also back to emergency operation.

In the coming week, based on the corona situation, a decision will be made on how to continue with the lessons and care in the day-care centers.

Corona in Nuremberg: Prime Minister Söder visits high school

(First report March 12th) Nuremberg - The corona situation in the second largest city in Bavaria is still tense.

The incidence value has been around 100 for days.

To get the pandemic under control, politicians and virologists have been preaching the same thing for weeks.

Only testing and vaccination would offer a sure way out of the crisis.

And so Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) visits his home city of Nuremberg * today to see the rapid test concept at a high school.

Together with his CSU colleague and Lord Mayor of Nuremberg, Marcus König, Söder is visiting the Sigena grammar school in the city center today.

He wants to see how the test concept is actually handled in a school.

At the grammar school, corona rapid tests * are carried out regularly on the teachers, the students and also on the staff of the neighboring daycare centers.

So far, only children over the age of 15 should have a regular test.

But as early as next week, younger people can also be tested.

The Minister of Education Michael Piazolo (Free Voters) also announced this on Wednesday during a school visit.

After the flying visit, Söder and König will give a press conference, which you can follow live from 11.30 a.m.

Nuremberg: Corona incidence cracks the 100 mark

Whether there will still be face-to-face teaching at Nuremberg's schools and whether this will be extended to lower grades next Monday, as planned, depends very specifically on the incidence value.

This was now several days in a row below the decisive mark of 100. Today it tore the mark again for the first time.

The city reported a 7-day incidence value of 100.3 to the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI).

154 people were newly infected in the past 24 hours.

Four died of or with a Covid-19 infection.

Much depends on the incidence value of 100.

Should it slip over the 100 in Nuremberg * for three days in a row, the city has already announced that it will take measures again.

Among other things, the curfew could then be reintroduced.

A decline in distance teaching would then also be quite conceivable.

The wearing of masks in certain areas of the city center could also be expanded again.

It was not until March 9th that the affected areas were made smaller and the time when the mask requirement applies.
