Freiburg / Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - According to the Diakonie Baden, 14 teachers and 10 children from the Immergrün day care center in Freiburg are suspected of being infected with a mutated variant of the coronavirus.
Four of the six groups are therefore in quarantine, said a spokesman for the German press agency in Karlsruhe on Wednesday.
The first suspected case occurred about two weeks ago.
It was not until Wednesday afternoon that the health department informed that indications of a corona mutant had been found.
The Baden-Württemberg state government then postponed the decision to open daycare centers and primary schools again.
The day care center Immergrün is one of ten day care centers run by the Diakonisches Werk Freiburg.
According to the Diakonie spokesman, the daycare's hygiene concept stipulates that the six groups never meet.
Therefore, the two unaffected would initially continue to be looked after as usual.
"The good news is that the hygiene concept worked," said the spokesman.
