There are only a few days left until Christmas.
Due to the increasing number of infections, the need for corona tests is great in some German cities.
According to the Wiesbaden Ministry of Social Affairs, long queues formed on Saturday at the commercial test centers in Hesse.
The waiting time
at
Frankfurt Airport
was more than four hours, as the operator Centogene announced on its website.
The company recommended on Sunday to register online in advance and to find out about the current waiting times on the website before visiting the test center.
Maybe you can switch to Wiesbaden or from this Monday on again to the test center in the “MyZeil” shopping center.

Social Affairs Minister Kai Klose (Greens) warned people not to rely too much on test results.
"Tests are only snapshots and do not provide absolute security, especially not for a visit on Christmas days," he said.
Even a negative result does not release you from the obligation to comply with the applicable hygiene and contact rules.
"For this year at Christmas there is no way around special caution and responsibility and therefore restrictions," said Klose.
