From this Monday on, corona rapid tests usually have to be paid for by yourself.
They are generally free for people who cannot be vaccinated, including children under the age of twelve.
This is stipulated in a new ordinance by the Federal Ministry of Health.
A corresponding federal-state resolution is thus implemented.
Potsdam - Since the beginning of March there has been an offer for free “citizen tests” for everyone.
Since free vaccinations are now possible for everyone, from the point of view of the federal and state governments, taxpayers no longer need to permanently assume the costs of the tests.
Children from 12 to 17 years of age and pregnant women can be tested once a week free of charge until the end of the year.
You should have more time to get vaccinated.
Tests remain free for children under the age of twelve and for people who need a test to end a quarantine due to a corona infection.
