Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - Saxony-Anhalt wants to keep schools open in regions with a high infection rate.
In all districts and urban districts, schools would continue to operate, "even where we - as in the Burgenland district - have exceeded the incidence of 200," said Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) on Tuesday after the cabinet meeting in Magdeburg.
In the morning, the Robert Koch Institute reported 203.5 infections per 100,000 inhabitants and 7 days for the Burgenland district.
"We can justify that because we are running a model project there which means that all students are regularly tested and thus checked," explained Haseloff.
Daycare workers and teachers at schools have been vaccinated.
These precautions would be scientifically supported.
It is about living with the pandemic and ensuring a piece of normality in certain areas.
