Medical officers are calling for corona tests for those who have been vaccinated
8:39 a.m.: In
view of the new maximum values for new corona infections, Germany's medical
officers are
calling for a significant expansion of the Covid rapid tests for vaccinated people. "The higher the incidence now, the more necessary it is that vaccinated people are tested in addition to the unvaccinated", says the chairman of the Federal Association of Doctors of the Public Health Service, Ute Teichert, according to a preliminary report from the Funke media group.
The head of the association emphasized that "the previous factual equality of vaccinated, recovered and tested people in the form of the 3G rule should be reconsidered."
Vaccination and testing are completely different things, "if you are vaccinated, you can still carry the virus and pass it on, even if you don't get sick."
