Berlin - The rules in Germany to contain the
corona virus
form a patchwork quilt.
In view of the increasing number of infections,
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU)
met the mayors of major German cities - past the Prime Minister.
Now virologist Christian Drosten is also getting involved - and pleading for uniformity.
“It's good when there are clear rules.
That is very clear, "said the
chief virologist of the Berlin Charité to
the editorial network Germany (RND / Saturday).
Especially in the coming autumn and winter months, more nationwide regulations to combat the
corona pandemic
* are necessary again.

In view of the regionally different frequency of the disease, it is understandably still difficult to enforce the relevant rules, the expert admitted.
But he emphasized: "The virus * will spread more and more evenly.
We will come more and more into a situation where it is better to regulate across the board ”.

And not only
Drosten
seems
dissatisfied
with the chaos of regulations in the German
corona crisis
.
The business associations also express their displeasure.
For example, the hotel and restaurant association Dehoga complained about the different rules for accommodating guests from German risk areas.
"It is completely unsatisfactory that we do not have any national regulations," said Ingrid Hartges, General Manager of the Association, of the "Passauer Neue Presse" (online / Saturday).
Guests and hoteliers alike would have countless questions and would not know what would apply in detail.
“That is why we urgently need more uniformity,” demanded Hartges.
For example, it should generally be clear that business travelers are exempt from the bans on accommodation.
