At the press conference after the cabinet meeting, Leopoldina President Gerald Haug warns of the loss of control.
He made clear recommendations for the Prime Minister's Conference.
In the run-up to the
Prime Minister's Conference
on Wednesday, the
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder
, the Chairwoman of the Council of Three Fundamental Rights, Susanne Breit-Keßler and Prof. Dr.
Gerald Haug
, President of the
National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina
on the main results of the cabinet deliberations.
Leopoldina President Gerald Haug
expressed concern at the press conference.
He called for effective rules for autumn and winter.
"The
virus
lives on contacts," he said.
“It happens in cities, it happens at parties.” And schools shouldn't be ignored either.
The priority must be
to
limit
these
contacts
, but to maintain the economy, schools and public life.
With
keeping your distance
,
mask
and
ventilation
against aerosols, you have three options
to reduce
the risk of a
corona infection *
.
New
rules should
revolve
around these
.
"A
wise
suggestion could be that we introduce a uniform rule for the
mask requirement
," suggested Haug.
For example, is a duty, the
mouth guard
to wear, from a
* Seven-day incidence
of 35
new infections
per 100,000 inhabitants helpful even on highly visited places outdoors.
The example of
Munich
has shown that this can be effective.
“I hope that the
Prime Ministers
and the
Federal Chancellor
will manage to take everyone with them tomorrow.
That was also the essence of our opinion.
It only works with the three aspects of motivation, discipline and solidarity.
And it is only possible with clear, understandable, uniform
rules
and the implementation of these rules. "
Uniform
escalation
levels
and
limit values *
would have to be constantly checked and adjusted.
Coronavirus could get out of control - "tomorrow the course will be set"
Also gave
Haug
to remember that we missed the end of September, to set the course for less than 10,000
new infections
to stay.
"Tomorrow the course will be set as to whether we
can stay
below 2000
new infections
and I think this is really a very dramatic situation," he warns.
The
Charité
has now increased its intensive care bed capacity by 20 percent as a precaution.
Control has already been lost in neighboring countries, and Paris is about to make
triage decisions *
.
You have to learn from other countries and do better.
"I would like to formulate the big request again, on behalf of science, that we manage to achieve clear, uniform rules tomorrow - you have this responsibility to get us through
autumn
and winter
accordingly
," Haug appeals with regard to the Prime Minister's Conference.
