In a month at the earliest, Hamburg’s schools will again be offering face-to-face lessons. Corona rapid tests could then provide more security.
Simple gargle or spit tests for corona should be available at the beginning of March. According to information from NDR 90.3, a pilot test could start with these tests after the spring break in Hamburg.

Several schools in the Süderelbe region are involved
Gudrun Wolters Vogeler from the General German School Management Association has already won several schools in the South Elbe region for the idea. She herself runs the primary school at An der Haake in Hausbruch. All employees in the school should be able to take a quick test regularly two to three times a week. This strategy is also supported by the Hamburg School Management Association.
Support from the citizens of the SPD and the Greens
The parliamentary groups of the SPD and Greens could provide backing. They plan the rapid tests as part of an overall strategy they are calling for the Senate.
