Because of corona mutation: the health department recommends a PCR test for all those returning to travel

The Nuremberg health department has made a request.

When entering the country, vacationers should be tested for Corona.

Also from non-risk areas.

Nuremberg - those returning to travel should carry out a corona test at the request of the health department.

Ideally, it should be a PCR test, as reported by the city of Nuremberg *.

With these voluntary tests, Corona * infections could be detected at an early stage.

In this way, other people could also be protected from infection.

Nuremberg: Regulations for returnees from risk areas

Vacationers from non-risk areas are also asked to undergo a test.

According to Britta Walthelm, consultant for environment and health, the health department wants to sensitize people to the implementation of a corona test * in order to prevent the virus from spreading unobtrusively.

Another reason for this is the delta mutation *, which also occurred in Nuremberg.

Anyone returning from vacation should follow the rules for returnees from risk areas.

Accordingly, it must be proven 48 hours after entry at the latest that there is no corona infection.

During this time, further contacts are to be avoided.

If you land at Nuremberg Airport *, you can have yourself tested on site immediately after arrival.

The PCR test is free of charge for residents in Bavaria.

However, an appointment can be made in advance to avoid waiting times.

The result is available to those tested within 24 to 48 hours by email.
