Protection of old people’s homes: will mass tests bring liberation?

The majority of the corona deaths lived in a senior citizen center. Vaccination is now beginning in homes, and politicians are calling for preventive mass tests. But it’s not that easy.

The big vaccination in the old people’s and nursing homes begins. The canton of Zurich will present the timetable for this on Monday. All home residents who want to be vaccinated should be vaccinated by the end of April at the latest. Bern expects the staff and residents of homes to be vaccinated as early as March. This is on the condition that the active ingredient from Moderna will soon be approved.
