Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The new week begins in the northeast with several changes in everyday corona.

From Monday on, all pupils in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania can do a corona self-test under the supervision of the teacher.

According to the Ministry of Education, the students should take the tests together in the classroom at the beginning of the school day.

Such a test should therefore be possible at least once a week, in the past few days this had already started in the first grades.

Unions had criticized the short-term introduction of the self-tests.

The Association of Education and Upbringing (VBE) had requested additional medical staff for the implementation in the first few weeks.

Education Minister Bettina Martin (SPD) assured, however, that the tests are very easy to use and not unpleasant.

Changes are also planned for children's and youth sports at the beginning of the week.

According to the Ministry of Social Affairs, more of them should be allowed in the state from Monday.

Where daily classroom teaching is possible, children and youth sports with a maximum of 20 participants should be permitted outdoors.

This affects children and young people in grades 1 to 6 as well as the final grades.

This regulation already existed, but more regions could now implement it.
