## Introduction

A very simple fetcher for COVID19 statistics offered by the Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) in Germany. This tool was created, because in Germany you will have different restrictions in order to the current incidency of your district, since Germany released the "Coronanotstandverordnung", which allowed each individual state to release regional restrictions based on the local incidencies of the certain regions.

In the future the tool will be advanced by displaying the current restrictions and also proven facts and science results and also information about Covid-19 and the restrictions.

The page will also give information on why vaccination is important not only to yourself, but also to the society and also scientific information about the non-existence of long-term-consequences.

## Usage:

To use this tool, you will only have to follow 2 (or if you want to share 3) steps and profit:

1️⃣ SELECT your district

2️⃣ CHECK the latest information about your surrounding

3️⃣ SHARE the information with your friends, family or coworkers

You will start at the landing page of the qovis tool. You can either choose your district or look at the Covid-19 statistics in Germany.
