NCT04521088

Brief Summary

There is insufficient knowledge about transmission routes and the effectiveness of general protective measures to prevent infection, such as the closure of schools or the wearing of mouthguards. This will be illustrated using the example of the COVID-19 outpatient clinic in Solingen and the positive COVID-19 tests registered there. Another aspect we would like to address in this study is the number of COVID-19 tests performed against the background of political events or dramatic accumulations of COVID-19 cases in other parts of Germany or Europe. Do speeches by political leaders about the COVID-19 situation or a very strong regional spread of infection elsewhere have an impact on the frequency with which people react sensitively to suspicious symptoms and undergo testing for infection?
