"As soon as we recognize that the

infection rate is

going

down, the step-by-step plan will have to be followed backwards," said

Lower Saxony's

Minister of Economic Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Bernd Althusmann (CDU) of the German Press Agency in Hanover: New infections per 100,000 inhabitants nationwide in seven days, preferably well below 35. "

Corona: If the incidence continues to decrease, there should be rapid easing

If this goal is achieved,

easing measures

should be started quickly,

for example for the

catering

and

hotel industries

.

Althusmann said

zoos, animal and amusement parks, beauty salons and perhaps gyms

could also be reopened

in the first easing stage

.

“If we manage to do that in January, then we will have a clear relaxation at Easter and the companies can then take a deep breath," said Althusmann.

It is about a “smart perspective for spring 2021”.

There are also specific plans for schools in Lower Saxony for lessons in 2021.

Corona: Lower Saxony has started setting up vaccination centers

The vaccination strategy is also making progress in Lower Saxony.

The

counties and cities

have, according to the German press agency with the

construction of the vaccination centers

started.

On Saturday (December 5th, 2020) the construction of a station started in an empty supermarket in Wilhelmshaven.

All districts and urban districts had until a few days ago

to report

possible locations for vaccination centers

to the country.

According to the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior, coordination with the individual districts is now "under high pressure".

For example, in addition to

vacant commercial properties

,

town halls

,

sports halls

and

former schools are also considered

.

In Hanover, the vaccinations are to take place on the exhibition grounds.

Since it is not yet possible to predict when the

vaccines will be

available, it is still unclear when the respective

vaccination stations

will be able to start operating.

However,

mobile distributions of the vaccines should

take place first and then the centers can start their work.
