The nationwide corona warning in the Warnapp Nina was lifted on Friday.

The app also spoke of an “all clear”.

However, the responsible Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) pointed out that this wording was due to technical reasons.

"To avoid any misunderstandings: The corona pandemic continues.

There is no all-clear for Corona!”

As the office explained, there are only three states in the app: "Warning", "Update" and "All clear".

Simply removing an existing warning “quietly” is therefore not yet possible.

The nationwide Corona warning was therefore removed under the technical title "All clear".

According to the information, the system is now to be further developed so that future reports can also be removed "silently".

“Coronavirus remains a serious threat”

The following headline was specifically to be read in the app: “All clear: Corona virus: Information from the Federal Ministry of Health”.

The text then went on to say: "This is the all-clear for the warning "Coronavirus: Information from the Federal Ministry of Health" of April 7th, 2022".

This warning has been lifted.

Users of the app may then have asked themselves whether Corona is no longer officially classified as a danger.

The Federal Ministry of Health countered this impression.

You just sent an updated text to the BKK responsible for the app.

In this text, which can be seen in the app after the lines quoted above, it says verbatim:

"This is important information from the Federal Ministry of Health.

The coronavirus continues to pose a serious threat to your health.

Take advantage of the offers for the corona vaccination and refresh your vaccination protection if necessary.

Even if the nationwide warning is hereby lifted, continue to observe the recommendations for action given, especially the AHA rules overall continue to rate as high.

The BKK explained the removal of the nationwide warning in its statement with more clarity.

"This regular "cleaning up" is necessary so that current warning messages can be better perceived by users."
