COVID

Wearing of mouth masks remains useful for anyone with a cough. If you have severe complaints, you can take a self-test (purchased from the pharmacy). If positive, mandatory isolation in the event of a positive COVID-19 test no longer applies.
However, the characteristics of the virus have not changed and infected persons can be contagious for up to 10 days after diagnosis. Therefore, it remains important to maintain measures in case of symptoms or in case of a positive COVID-19 test:

  • Stay at home if you have symptoms of illness (e.g. coughing).
  • wear a mouth mask
  • avoid contact with vulnerable people
  • avoid crowded places

Certificates for illness and absence from work or school require a consultation. If you are indispensable at work or school, you can return earlier with a mask and good hand hygiene and provided that you avoid large groups.

After 7 days it is best to take another self test ;  a negative test usually corresponds to the end of your contagiousness.

If still positive, you may repeat the test a few days in a row.

Vaccination is available - probably once in each year-  in autumn after a specific appointment made for this goal at the G.P. offices.
