Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
My son is in Germany, just arrived, got a call from home to say he has whooping cough (pertussis) and needs to get an antibiotic. Are there specific rules around whooping cough in Germany

Hallo @peter smyth , I hope that your son gets better soon. You should inform the health department (Gesundheitsamt) that your son has a Keuchhusten: https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/Infekt/EpidBull/Merkblaetter/Ratgeber_Per… Also there are strong recommendations to limit contact with others. If you write me where you live, I can help you find the health department. Best Barbara
