3 bits of news

For starters, emergency appointments may now be made online. The lines have recently disappeared from Poccistrasse's daily existence. Foreign nationals who had an immediate need to call the KVR owing to an emergency were also in line. For instance, if the lack of a residence permit would have meant the loss of a job or a place to study.
