The second corona lockdown will begin in Germany in the coming week.
According to hygiene expert Klaus-Dieter Zastrow, we could face a vicious circle in the next few months.
Germany will go into
lockdown
against the
corona virus
again from November 2
.
Now hygiene expert
Klaus-Dieter Zastrow
warns of a "
lockdown vicious circle
".
Until there is a
vaccine
,
people in
Germany
have to
strictly adhere to the rules.
Munich - The federal and state governments agreed on a new
package of measures
against the
coronavirus *
on Wednesday
.
Germany will
go
into the second
lockdown
in November
, the exponential growth of the infection situation must be stopped quickly.
For the
hygiene expert Klaus-Dieter Zastrow
this is "not at all surprising and absolutely correct".
The decision is the "logical consequence of the fact that the desired and recommended measures were not carried out voluntarily." This is what the 70-year-old told
Bild
.
When asked whether a
lack of a vaccine * could
even lead to a “
lockdown vicious circle
”, he warned: “That can happen.
The question is how capable our fellow citizens are of learning.
Anyone who says 'Okay, we get that and we have to stick to certain things', then we will not experience that.
However, if everyone has their cups lifted as soon as the measures have been reduced, this can happen to us again under certain circumstances.
The vaccine isn't there yet. "
Corona lockdown was "to be expected" for Klaus-Dieter Zastrow
Currently, however, Zastrow is quite optimistic that the
infection
curve will quickly flatten again.
Although he did not expect a
second wave * to
occur, too many people did not obey the rules and accordingly the second lockdown was "to be expected." Nevertheless, he did not see a tragedy.
If you believe the expert, the German population is now concerned with strictly adhering to the new package of measures and following the existing rules.
At least until there is an effective vaccine.
The Tübingen-based biotech company "
CureVac *
" is working on this and is now planning to massively expand production capacities.
As Merkur.de reports, depending on the vaccine dosage, several 100 million doses can be produced per year.
