According to WELT, the federal government will start coordinating the delivery of self-tests from already secured stocks to the federal states at short notice.

This so-called starter package comprises 10.5 million self-tests.

Among other things, they are intended for use in schools and daycare centers.

In a letter to the federal states that WELT has received, the federal ministers responsible for the “Test Logistics Taskforce”, Jens Spahn (health) and Andreas Scheuer (transport), offer the federal states the opportunity to provide self-tests from this starter package until the Orders of the countries arrive.

As of Wednesday of this week, Roche Diagnostics will be able to “deliver up to 1.5 million antigen self-tests per day” as part of a contractual agreement with the federal government, the letter said.

Interested federal states should contact Roche by Tuesday, March 9th at 12 noon in order to secure a proportion corresponding to the population key.

The federal states should bear the costs for this.

"The cost of each antigen self-test is EUR 4.50 plus sales tax (including delivery)," calculate Spahn and Scheuer.

There is a discount for orders of more than one million tests.

Then the price is only EUR plus sales tax.

On this Tuesday, the two federal ministers will also meet for the first telephone conference of the “Test Logistics Taskforce” with representatives from the federal states and the economy.

The distribution of quick and self-tests should be coordinated.

Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) meanwhile wants to make public the names of all members of the Bundestag who have appeared to his ministry in connection with the procurement of corona protective masks.

However, this should only be done after consulting the Bundestag administration.

"We want to enable full transparency in an orderly process," said Spahn to the editorial network Germany (RND / Monday).

But because the personal rights of MPs were affected, he asked the Bundestag to develop a procedural proposal with him.
