Munich - The current
lockdown measures
in
Germany
seem to be working.
A positive trend can be seen in the
number of
new infections
in recent weeks.
The
7-day incidence
was reported to the
Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
on Thursday with 98 first time since October under the threshold of 100 - since Christmas she has roughly halved.
However, the target value of the federal government around Chancellor
Angela Merkel
(CDU) remains an incidence of below 50. The number of daily
deaths
is still too high - on Thursday the
RKI
reported
941. In addition, there are concerns about the spread of the
corona mutations *
in Germany .
There are currently strict
travel restrictions *
in the room.
It
is still unclear
whether the
lockdown
can therefore be relaxed from mid-February.
Relaxation of the corona measures: Infectiologist warns of "explosion of the situation"
The Munich infectiologist
Dr.
In a conversation with
Focus Online
,
Christoph Spinner
warned
against
loosening too early
.
“From a purely pandemic point of view, it would of course be desirable that the number of
infections be
as low as possible,” he clarified.
On the other hand, the measures, society and each individual would “
demand considerable unreasonable
demands”.
Politicians have to
think carefully
about the
proportionality of the measures
, explained the infectiologist.

"How should it go on?" Many service providers are asking themselves this in the Corona lockdown.
They would like the measures to be relaxed.

"With the
beginning of spring
the weather will also help us," predicted
Spinner
.
People would then be outside more.
In addition, UV radiation ensures that the viruses are inactivated more quickly.
A discussion about
easing the corona * measures
therefore makes sense, according to the infectiologist.
However, Spinner also drew attention to the situation in some other countries.
It has been seen several times that "
loosening too early
can lead
to an explosion of the situation
".
Corona in Germany: Drosten warns against easing too quickly
Virologist
Christian Drosten also
recently warned in the ARD “Tagesthemen” that the corona measures were being relaxed too quickly.
"If we imagine the time
after Easter
- we probably
won't
have
vaccinated enough people by then
," he said.
The idea of
simply ending
all
measures
is "somewhat naive" and would inevitably lead to a renewed widespread spread of the
coronavirus *
.
"Then we will have medical problems again," warned Drosten.
You have to take the
measures
back step by step
in the future
and see how it works.
“This virus is not harmless.
You cannot simply assume that you have covered the
risk groups
and then dealt with the problem, ”the virologist's appeal.

Corona in Germany: Kekulé is in favor of the end of lockdown from mid-February
The virologist
Alexander Kekulé
, however, spoke out in favor of a lockdown end from mid-February.
"I think it is possible that
daycare centers, schools
,
shops
, but also
restaurants
can
gradually
open again
from mid-February
," said the expert in an interview with the
Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung
.
“Not everywhere at once, but initially only in regions with particularly
low case numbers
and well-established health authorities,” Kekulé continues.
With a consistent preparation one can from
mid-February
to
Corona *
-Lockdown
end - "and swirl to a less restrictive policy." This played
Kekulé
about to
rapid tests
and an online registration for participants at private events.
Such a
change in strategy
is also necessary in order to regain greater acceptance of the measures in critical citizens, explained the virologist.
Corona lockdown in Germany: Streeck welcomes Schleswig-Holstein's step-by-step plan
At the beginning of the week,
Schleswig-Holstein
presented a
step-by-step plan
as a possible way out of the
corona lockdown
.
Virologist
Hendrik Streeck
welcomes these suggestions: "
I thought that was very good,
" he said on Wednesday on the ARD talk show "Maischberger".
There are nuances that can be discussed, but a structure, a step-by-step plan is important.
“People can adjust to it.
I think that's a good long-term strategy, ”says Streeck.
