Many corona tests now have to be paid for

Corona tests have brought Germany through the pandemic in the past few months and made one or the other easing possible.

The state has paid for the so-called citizen tests.

Not anymore.

But there are exceptions.

Stuttgart - If you need an official Corona test certificate, you have to pull out your wallet in many cases from now on.

With a few exceptions, the federal government no longer bears the costs.

It is expected that some providers will close their test centers because it is no longer profitable to operate them.

Those who stay can set the price themselves.

It should be between 15 and 25 euros per rapid antigen test.

Baden-Württemberg Health Minister Manne Lucha (Greens) appealed again last week: "Get vaccinated, this is the only long-term way out of the pandemic."

Corona: loss of earnings for unvaccinated people?

Employees need to know that

Anyone who cannot work due to a corona quarantine has been supported by the state so far.

That should change now for the unvaccinated.

All the rules:

Corona: loss of earnings for unvaccinated people?

Employees need to know that

There are exceptions for certain groups of people such as people who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons.

You will continue to be offered free trials.

Until the end of the year, the state is providing schools with free tests for children and young people.

Tests remain free in clinics and nursing homes because residents and patients are dependent on social contacts.

Companies must also offer their employees free tests.

Local exceptions are also possible: The Presidium of the Tübingen District Association of the German Red Cross, led by Lisa Federle, has decided to continue to offer free antigen rapid tests to citizens until further notice.

According to the information, the association finances the tests with existing, earmarked donations.

The reason for the elimination of the nationwide free test offers is justified by the fact that every citizen over twelve years in Germany can now be vaccinated.

Sufficient vaccine is available.

The fact that tests are still necessary is due to the so-called 3G rules, which in many places apply as admission conditions.

This means that only those who have recovered from Covid disease, who have been vaccinated against the virus or who have just been tested with valid proof that they are not infected are allowed.
