From April 30th, the mask requirement that still prevails in hospitals and nursing homes is to expire. From June 30th, all special provisions should end, it was said on Wednesday. SARS-CoV-2 will then no longer be a notifiable disease. The restrictions for people who have tested positive will then no longer exist either.
Although infected people do not currently have to be quarantined, they are obliged to wear an FFP2 mask indoors and outdoors when in close contact with other people. All corona crisis teams and committees would be dissolved, it said.
