Bremen (dpa / lni) - At Bremen schools and daycare centers, numerous employees and pupils have tested themselves for the corona virus since Monday.
The offer of free rapid tests in the facilities was very well received, said the spokeswoman for the education department, Annette Kemp, on Friday.
According to this, the majority of the employees in daycare centers and schools as well as the majority of the pupils participated.
Exact numbers on the tests are expected to be available to the education department in the coming week.
Anyone who receives a positive result in the self-test must then do a so-called PCR test.
This ensures that the person is actually infected.
Only then will the corona case be reported to the health department.
According to data from Thursday, 41 children and young people and 7 teachers at schools in the city of Bremen were infected with the corona virus.
How many of them had taken a self-test at the facility was unclear.
In daycare centers in the city of Bremen, the health department was aware of 14 children, 20 pedagogical specialists and 2 other daycare employees who had contracted the virus.

Since Monday, children, adolescents and adults in daycare centers and schools in the city of Bremen have been able to test themselves for the virus twice a week.
The tests are designed to help identify infected people quickly in order to prevent the virus from spreading further.
Self-tests are planned in schools for Lower Saxony.
A week of practice for dealing with it will start next Monday, although many schools have not received any test kits recently.
