Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - For the time of the corona vaccinations in the nursing homes, according to the assessment of the social associations, the support of aid organizations is needed.

The Diakonie Hessen in Frankfurt announced on Wednesday that the deployment of disaster control forces is conceivable.

The forces should continue to support the work in the homes until the vaccinations were completed there.

Ensuring visiting regulations, corona rapid tests as well as the organization and follow-up care of vaccinations at the same time exceeds the capabilities of the nursing homes.

More than 2,500 employees in the nursing homes are currently infected or in quarantine.
