At the same time, the Chamber of Bremen's hairdressers is warning against taking orders for
home visits as
soon as possible
.
"Consider the health
risk
if you go into the private environment of the customer!" In addition, it is uncertain how long this exemption will exist.

It's about “hairdressers, cosmetic studios, massage practices, tattoo studios and nail studios”.
Elsewhere, handicrafts and services are generally declared permissible.

Corona in Germany: Virologist Kekulé recommends lockdown end from mid-February
“I think it is possible that
daycare centers, schools
, shops and
restaurants will
gradually
open again
from mid-February
.
Not everywhere at once, but initially only in regions with particularly
low case numbers
and well-established health authorities, ”suggests the director of the Institute for Medical Microbiology at Halle University Hospital in an interview with
Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung (NOZ)
.
“Gatherings of up to ten or 20 people would also be conceivable if new instruments were used at the same time.
“With this, Kekulé is alluding to
rapid tests
and online registration for participants at private events.
The virologist is certain: With consistent preparation
,
the corona lockdown *
can be ended from mid-
February
- "and switch to a less drastic strategy."
Corona mutation in Germany: virologist calls for more speed with vaccination
According to Kekulé, the
current
corona measures
are most likely sufficient to sufficiently reduce the number of cases for a lockdown to end.
Such a change in strategy is also necessary in order to regain greater acceptance for the measures in critical citizens.
In view of the
virus mutations
, Kekulé urged more speed with
vaccination
.
"We have to vaccinate as soon as possible because the virus is constantly developing." At the same time, he emphasized: "But no matter which variant is sneaking around the house: explosive growth will only return if we
carelessly
open
a door or a window
for
Corona *
Leave it open. ”It is also important that
Germany
“ does not fall into a permanent lockdown ”in
view of the new
Corona mutations
.
Lockdown in Germany: virologist Kekulé criticizes no-Covid strategy
On the other hand, the virologist criticizes the strategy of practically eradicating the coronavirus as completely exaggerated.
His argumentation: “With the timetable of the zero-corona advocates, we would be in lockdown for another two to three months.
Nobody can take that, and that is unworldly. "
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
received 13,202 new corona infections
within one day.
In addition, according to the RKI,
982 new deaths were
recorded
in
Germany
within 24 hours
.
There was
a significant
increase
in
new infections
compared to yesterday (6408)
.
The
7-day incidence
for Germany was
101.0
on Wednesday morning
.
The federal government also sees great corona dangers - even if the number of cases is currently falling.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is now focusing on travel.
