Important information about the health situation

In addition, the direction of reporting around COVID-19 tests is currently changing. How CDC reported, the requirements for reporting negative results for rapid or antigen tests are no longer necessary. Reporting of antibody test results is also no longer necessary. Such information is particularly important for practices and testing centers that have to adhere to the new rules.

If testing is necessary for illnesses, the CDC clarifies that so-called point-of-care tests can be used in various settings, including pharmacies. However, legal requirements must be observed when carrying out these tests. This means that a corresponding certificate is required for implementation. Schools or care facilities can also act as testing locations.

In the current health situation, it is crucial that both medical and pharmaceutical personnel are always well informed and follow appropriate health measures. Caution is particularly important at a time when guidelines are changing and testing methods no longer need to be regulated as stringently. However, the infrastructure in Coburg is well prepared to be there for all citizens today and in the coming days.
