Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The Ministry of Social Affairs in Schwerin and the employment agency are looking for volunteers for corona rapid tests in nursing homes.

“Anyone who wants to help with this does not necessarily have to have experience in the medical or nursing field or have had social training.

Suitable people without medical training can also register, ”said Minister of Social Affairs Stefanie Drese (SPD) on Monday.

The care facilities in MV are still facing personnel challenges in the corona pandemic.

According to the information, there are currently 117 interested parties in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The selection process lies with the old people's and nursing homes.

Before use, there is a briefing on how the antigen tests must be carried out.

In MV, visitors must be tested for the corona virus before entering a nursing home.

This should also be possible on site.

According to the information, the search for helpers runs nationwide through the service center of the Federal Employment Agency.

The regional demand is listed on the website of the employment agency.

For Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, all districts and independent cities reported a need there on Monday.
