That is not the only change in Lower Saxony.

Hanover - Many people in Lower Saxony have to prepare for stricter corona measures from Thursday.

Unvaccinated employees in old people's and nursing homes then have to test themselves for the corona virus every day, as the State Chancellery announced on Tuesday in Hanover.

Previously, this was required three times a week.

For events in closed rooms with 1000 to 5000 people, the 2G model will be switched to the 2G model from a lower corona warning level, so only vaccinated and recovered people could have access there.

According to the ordinance, nothing changes with regard to the requirement to wear a mask in class - pupils in grades one and two do not have to wear a mask, while the others do.

"Our aim is to get through the coming cold and wet months as well as possible, to prevent our health system from being overwhelmed and to save as many people as possible from serious illnesses and death," said Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD).

Over 70-year-olds in the state should, however, receive a letter with information about the Corona booster vaccination.

This should contain, for example, where citizens can get vaccinated, said Health Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) on Tuesday in the state parliament.

The minister initially left open when and by whom these letters should be sent.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), around 250,000 people in Lower Saxony have received a corona booster vaccination so far.

Meta Janssen-Kucz, health policy spokeswoman for the Green parliamentary group, previously sharply criticized the state government.

You could have long since initiated free corona tests or letters to people who are eligible for a corona booster vaccination.

The majority of these people do not live in old people's and nursing homes.

It had come back to an "information chaos through federal and state".
