NRW wants to switch from lollipops to nose swabs for corona tests in daycare centers

In the future, daycare children in North Rhine-Westphalia should be able to be tested for the corona virus with nasal instead of lollipop tests. The NRW Family Ministry has launched a tender for the tests, as a spokeswoman confirmed at the request of the German Press Agency in Düsseldorf.

According to new findings, nasal tests are more reliable, she explained the planned change. Parents don't have to worry about sticking test sticks deep into their children's little noses. A swab from the front area of ​​a sniffle is enough, said the spokeswoman.

In North Rhine-Westphalia, since the end of the summer holidays, parents of daycare children have been given eight self-tests per month so that they can test their offspring at home on a voluntary basis. The offer is also available to childminders and special education groups. According to the state’s Corona Protection Ordinance, caregivers or carriers can make the presence of a child with relevant signs of a respiratory disease in the facility dependent on a daily negative test.
