Good evening,

there is no longer an obligation to isolate:
leave the house despite a positive corona test?
This is possible in Hesse from this Wednesday.
The Hessian state government has announced that it will lift the obligation to isolate people who have tested positive for the corona virus.
The current Corona Protection Ordinance has been adjusted following a cabinet decision.
It applies from Wednesday (November 23rd), as the State Chancellery announced.
Because, among other things, the number of infections has been falling for weeks, there are effective protective measures through the offer of vaccinations and the currently dominant omicron variant BA.5 has not currently led to a threatening burden on the health system, the step announced a few weeks ago has now been decided according to a statement by the State Chancellery.
"The comparatively serious encroachment on fundamental rights of an isolation obligation is currently not proportionate."
However, should the situation in the Hessian hospitals deteriorate again, the state government wants to advise again and make a new decision, according to the announcement.
The new rules at a glance:
For adults and children aged 6 and over who have tested positive, there is at least five days after the first positive test:
a mask requirement outside your own home.
a ban on entry and activity for hospitals, retirement and nursing homes, homeless and refugee accommodation and other facilities with vulnerable people or increased risk of infection - both for visitors and staff.
Persons who are treated or cared for in the facility, as well as police and rescue workers, are exempt from the ban on entry.
Anyone who feels symptoms is still “strongly recommended” to continue to isolate themselves.
It is said that voluntary isolation should only be lifted after two symptom-free days or ten days after the first positive test.

Peter Wirth, better known to Frankfurters as Bahnbabo, wants to stand as an independent candidate in the next mayoral elections on March 5.
In order to make himself even better known than he already is, he will certainly use social networks.
There he has the most followers of all the candidates known to date - even more than Manuela Rottmann (Greens), who is on the federal political stage after all.
Much more than Mike Josef, who has less than 500 on Twitter, or Uwe Becker, who has almost 2,000.
Our author Rainer Schulz took a closer look at the profiles of the mayoral candidates in the social networks.
Has found strange, boring and sometimes frighteningly little.
At the same time, he writes, the election campaign in social media is becoming increasingly important.
"Nowhere is it so easy to put yourself in the limelight and control your own image as on social channels."
Tight housing market:
Living is luxury.
Rarely has this sentence been so true.
In Wiesbaden, the situation is currently getting worse.
According to Christoph Manjura (SPD), head of the social and housing department, around 40 percent of households are entitled to subsidized housing.
But social housing is in short supply in the city.
3,300 households are on a waiting list for affordable housing.
Far more than in 2021. There were 2777. The need is great, construction projects are only progressing slowly.
Price increases, a shortage of skilled workers and disrupted supply chains are just some of the reasons.
In addition, the number of building permits in Wiesbaden this year has fallen by more than 30 percent compared to the previous year, writes our author Robert Maus.
Only 86 apartments were approved.
That the situation cannot be saved
should be clear to everyone involved.
In order to relax the situation on the housing market, Manjura is demanding higher subsidies from the state.
The city will also spend more money.
