Many people in Lower Saxony have to prepare for stricter corona measures from Wednesday.
Unvaccinated employees in old people's and nursing homes 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.
Hanover - For events in closed rooms with 1000 to 5000 people, the 2G model is already switched to a lower corona warning level, so only vaccinated and recovered people could get access there.
