Heinsberg border region relaxes quarantine policy

The German region (Kreis) Heinsberg on the Limburg border, between Roermond and Brunssum, moderates quarantine policy immediately. Not everyone who has come into contact with a person infected with the coronavirus is, as usual, quarantined. Only people who have fallen ill since then have to quarantine and have themselves tested if necessary. With a few exceptions, others can continue with their work and other daily activities.

That was said by Stephan Pusch of Kreis Heinsberg on Saturday morning in a video message to the population. The reason is an infected employee at the Kreis itself. If everyone who had been in contact with her had to go home immediately and stay indoors for 14 days, then the entire Kreis board and the crisis team would have been down all that time, and that is not done, Pusch said.

No shaking hands for football or hockey matches

It is not known whether these Dutch people have also been tested for the corona virus.

The riders and other team members of the cycling teams who are still trapped in a hotel in Abu Dhabi have undergone a test. The emirate’s Ministry of Health confirmed that 167 tests conducted had not shown any contamination. More results are expected in the coming hours.
