The compulsory test for students in Bavaria starts on Monday.
In a video, the puppet from the Augsburger Puppenkiste explains to the little ones how to do it properly.
Munich
- Starting tomorrow, Monday, April 12, Bavaria's students should test themselves for Corona *.
There had been strong criticism in advance of this decision by the Bavarian state government.
Education Minister Michael Piazolo of the Free Voters vehemently defended his strategy in the fight against the corona virus at a press conference.
A great concern of many parents and teaching staff is whether all children are actually performing the self-tests correctly so that a possible infection with the virus can also be detected.
In order to support at least the little ones with the execution of the test, the Free State has now called on the "help" of the Augsburger Puppenkiste in the form of the "Dr.
Kasperl ".
Corona test compulsory at Bavarian schools: Dr.
Kasperl explains how to do it
In an eight-minute video, “Dr.
Kasperl “what the children have to do, it said in a message from the Ministry of Culture on Sunday.
Mask off, five turns in the left nostril and five in the right nostril, mask on again and wait - "Dr.
Kasperl “shows the meerkat Erwin, who for reasons of distance is only connected via tablet, what to watch out for.
"If we had all been vaccinated, it would of course be a lonely syringe - so I mean," muses the puppet.
But as long as that doesn't work, you have to do more tests so that afterwards you don't have to cough, we have a problem, jokes the good-humored doll doctor.
Compulsory testing for students in Bavaria: puppet doctor explains how corona self-tests work correctly
“The tests in schools are important, they pave the way back to more freedom and normalcy.
It might take a few days for it to settle in, but I'm sure our Bavarian students can do it well, ”said Minister of Education Michael Piazolo (Free Voters).
The explanatory video from the Ministry of Culture and the Augsburger Puppenkiste should help.
Classes in Bavaria's schools will start again on Monday after the Easter break: A corona test is then mandatory for participation in classes in the classrooms - regardless of the respective seven-day incidence value.
"Dr.
Kasperl ”makes every effort to teach the children how to safely handle the corona tests.
Hopefully the new rule will have the desired effect.
