The new Corona Test Ordinance has come into force.

Chaos could therefore threaten hospitals, the BKG spokesman speaks of a "nuisance".

Munich – The Bavarian Hospital Society (BKG) fears chaos with visits from patients because of the new corona test regulation.

Corona test regulation: "There are neither personnel nor logistics for it"

According to the new requirements, visitors to hospitals and nursing homes can still receive a free citizen test in the test stations, but they must prove their eligibility with a certificate from the respective facility.

However, the hospitals could not issue such documents on a large scale.

"There is neither personnel nor logistics for it," said BKG spokesman Eduard Fuchshuber on Friday (July 1).

"That will lead to chaos at the weekend, I think."

This will lead to chaos at the weekend I think.

Corona tests are no longer free for everyone

The new test regulation was announced on Wednesday and came into force on Thursday.

Only certain groups will then get free tests.

Other groups, such as visitors to events in halls or people with a red Corona warning app, can receive tests for an additional payment of three euros.

Proof of eligibility must then be provided, for example by means of the purchased concert ticket.

The operators of the test centers charge the full price of those who are not authorized - depending on the provider, this is between 10 and 15 euros.

Corona test regulation announced at short notice: "It's a big nuisance"

It was often criticized that the Federal Ministry of Health only announced the new rules in detail in the middle of the week - and then had to implement them within a very short time.

The clinics also complain about this.

"That was imposed on the hospitals overnight," said Fuchshuber.

"It's a big annoyance how that was done." The clinics have other things to do than issue visitor notes.

Fuchshuber believes that it becomes a great challenge when many friends and relatives of patients come to the clinic gates at the weekend and ask for certificates.
