First things first: the kid's Corona test was negative. The wait took longer than for the voluntary teacher tests. For those there is an online platform & you get your results within 24 hours or less. The kid's doctor gets the test results when the lab guy comes in once a day (or he gets a fax). Germany is a digital wonderland!
I'm sure this wasn't his last test though because our Ministerpräsident has decided that masks in classrooms won't be necessary anymore although they are still to be worn in the corridors and in the playground ("where you can't keep your distance"). There is no space in classrooms! Two kids share a desk and there's less than half a metre between desks. Masks aren't perfect but they gave me a little bit of confidence to interact with the students.
We'll see how that goes. There are already individual classes and whole schools in quarantine with cases among staff and students. I'm sure the number won't decrease now.
