Schwerin (dpa / mv) - In view of falling seven-day incidence values in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the reopening of daycare centers and after-school care centers is within reach.
"If the number of infections in the country steadily falls below 100, the facilities can be reopened a week later," said Social Minister Stefanie Drese (SPD) on Thursday of the German Press Agency.
The seven-day incidence in MV has been declining for days, reaching 102.1 on Wednesday.
Daycare centers have been closed since April 19, after the nationwide incidence rate surged above the 150 mark.
According to the state's Corona regulation for daycare centers, the value must be below 100 for seven days in a row before they can reopen.
According to Drese, the conditions for the daycare centers are good.
At the moment there is only an infection in 28 facilities.
"And these are almost always isolated cases without subsequent infections, since the contacts can be determined very quickly and the chains of infection can be broken."
There are hardly any infections within the daycare centers.

According to the State Office for Health and Social Affairs (Lagus), 37 corona cases have been counted in the 28 facilities.
30 are due to children, seven to employees.
According to the ministry, there are around 1100 daycare centers across the country.
According to Drese, all around 15,000 daycare and after-school care workers in the country have received a vaccination offer.
How many perceived it is not clear.
At special vaccination appointments for the area, around 8,000 daycare and day-care center employees were vaccinated, said the minister.
It is therefore not known how many were privately vaccinated by their family doctor or in a vaccination center.
Not everywhere in the country have there been special vaccination campaigns with mobile teams for daycare workers.
The minister announced talks on opening perspectives for daycare centers for next Monday with the district administrators and mayors.
Then the general conditions and a test concept should be discussed.
According to Drese, around 40 percent of the regularly registered children are currently in emergency care, which daycare centers are currently only allowed to offer.

The schools in the country are currently still generally closed.
Emergency care for grades 1 to 6 is guaranteed on site.
Education Minister Bettina Martin (SPD) announced at the end of April that school regulations would only be relaxed if the nationwide seven-day incidence was below 100 for one week.
Meanwhile, since the start of the corona rapid tests in schools, 284 results have been positive: with 227 pupils and 57 employees, as the Education Minister said in the state parliament on Thursday.
So far, 411 794 tests have been taken, including 343 714 by students and 68 080 by employees.
How many of the positive rapid tests were confirmed by the necessary PCR test was initially not known.
According to the Minister of Education, there have been rapid corona tests in schools in the northeast since March 17, and tests have been mandatory since the end of April.
Those who go to school have to test themselves twice a week.
