Tübingen (dpa / lsw) - The Mayor of Tübingen Boris Palmer (Greens) will take stock of the so-called "Tübinger Weg" today.
In the lecture series "What do we learn from the Corona crisis in Tübingen?"
At the Global Ethic Institute in Tübingen, Palmer speaks about the university city's early path to allow easing with mass rapid tests even during the pandemic.
The discussion will be moderated by the political scientist Christopher Gohl from Tübingen.
In Tübingen, a model project is running until April 18 to increase the number of steps in the Corona period.
People can take free tests at nine test stations, and the result is certified.
You can use it in shops, at the hairdresser's or in theaters and museums.
In an initial interim assessment, Palmer was satisfied despite the irregularities in the test evaluation.
The model project is scientifically supported by the Tübingen University Hospital.
The mass rapid tests are intended to detect many asymptomatic infections and thus prevent further infections.
In the course of the spread of the more contagious variants of the coronavirus, the infection rate is also increasing in the Tübingen district.
The region is still doing quite well in a national comparison, but recently exceeded the value of 50 for the seven-day incidence several times.

More and more cities and districts in the southwest would also like to offer more relaxation based on regular quick tests similar to the model in Tübingen.
At the Baden-Württemberg Community Day, more than 100 cities and municipalities had already registered that wanted to implement such models, the President of the Municipal Council, Steffen Jäger, told the German Press Agency.
