Freiburg / Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - According to the findings of the Diakonie Baden, the corona outbreak in the Freiburg day care center goes back to an educator who initially had no symptoms.

"When he suffered from a loss of taste and was immediately tested, he had already passed the virus on," said a spokesman on Wednesday evening in Karlsruhe.

In the day care center, the six groups are separated.

However, everything indicates that the virus was then also transmitted to members of other groups via contacts in private, said the spokesman for the German Press Agency.

The health department had “recognized the day care center's hygiene concept as proper and good”.

14 educators and 10 children from the day care center may have been infected with a mutated variant of the coronavirus.

Two children have already tested positive for it, said the spokesman.

"The course of the disease was all moderate."

Four of the six groups are in quarantine.

"All groups of the daycare center should be able to offer emergency care again on Monday," the spokesman continued.

“The Freiburg case shows how important it is to protect employees.

In our opinion, everything should be done for this. "

That would mean that educators would have to be prioritized for vaccinations at the latest when the daycare centers open.

In addition, equipment with masks must be ensured.
