Naumburg (dpa / sa) - The Burgenland district wants to reopen primary schools and fifth and sixth grades on March 15.

The district administration is currently preparing an opening strategy that is largely independent of the corona incidence, said District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) on Wednesday.

It is about an opening perspective until the Easter holidays.

At the moment - unlike in the rest of Saxony-Anhalt - there is only emergency care, distance and sometimes alternating lessons in the Burgenland district due to the high level of infection.

Götz Ulrich: "no increase in incidence towards 300"

According to Ulrich, the opening of the primary schools and the fifth and sixth grades in mid-March are subject to conditions.

There should be "no massive increase in the incidence towards 300".

In addition, all primary and special school teachers would have to be vaccinated by then.

After all, a regular test system with self-tests must be set up for all students.

Appropriate tests should be offered to all students at least two to three times a week.

School opening: self-tests, but no compulsory test

The aim is to enable the children for such self-tests in the long term, explained the district administrator.

At the same time he made it clear that compulsory testing for the children is not possible and cannot be expected of them.

The circle cannot state something like that.

Accordingly, untested children could not be excluded from lessons.

The daycare centers should, however, continue to run in emergency mode.

The corona incidence on Wednesday in the Burgenland district was around 198 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the past seven days.
