All current information in the

for the press conference.
Berlin - The number of
new corona infections
in Germany is falling.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (
RKI
),
the 7-day incidence nationwide is
79.9 and is thus increasingly approaching the target value of 50. However, the RKI also reported almost 13,000 newly registered
corona infections
on Friday
.
But there are still problems with the availability of vaccinations against the virus.
Federal Health
Minister Jens Spahn
(CDU), the President of the Robert Koch Institute Lothar Wieler and the President of the Paul Ehrlich Institute responsible for vaccines want to
explain
the current situation
in a
press conference
on Friday (February 3rd, 2021) at 10:00 a.m.
Live: PK with Jens Spahn and Lothar Wieler - offer for corona vaccination should remain
Chancellor
Angela Merkel
(CDU) had announced that all people in Germany would be offered vaccinations by the end of summer in September.
Merkel had confirmed this statement several times, but doubts remain as to whether the goal will be achieved.
The manufacturers of the vaccines are plagued by delivery problems, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had
admitted
that they had failed to procure the
corona vaccine
for the EU.
It will take some time until all people in Germany are vaccinated *.
Does Federal Health Minister Spahn also talk about easing?
The exact content of the
press conference
with
Jens Spahn
is still unclear.
It would be possible, however, that the Federal Minister of Health announces an easing of the still existing lockdown.
This should be maintained until February 14th.
However, as Spahn told the Funke Group media on Thursday (February 4th, 2021), it “cannot yet be conclusively say where we will be on February 14th.” In any case, schools and daycare centers should be the first to reopen when it comes to relaxation.
Willingness for corona vaccination increases
Even before the
press conference
with
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn
, it was clear that the willingness to be vaccinated is increasing.
In a survey commissioned by infratest dimap on behalf of ARD *, 59 percent said they wanted to be vaccinated “in any case” - 22 percent more than in November 2020. Even more people, however, found the pace at which against this
Coronavirus
vaccination too slowly.
According to the survey, 68 percent are dissatisfied with it.
On the other hand, a large majority rejects “special rights” for vaccinated people, as they have been discussed again and again.
Only 28 percent were in favor of such regulations.
