  • The FDP has presented a nationwide Corona step-by-step plan for easing.

  • Before the corona summit by the federal and state governments, this should be seen as a clear rejection of a possible continuation of the lockdown.

  • The "Corona traffic light" of the Liberals should "give people a perspective"

Berlin - With the demand for a fixed set of rules in the Corona crisis, the FDP is pushing for steps for a controlled opening of trade, educational institutions and public life.

A plan presented in Berlin with seven stages for the relaxation of infection protection measures * is to be introduced to the Bundestag on Wednesday.

In addition to the number of cases per week, the 7-day incidence, regional values ​​should also be taken into account, such as illness in over 50s, the utilization of intensive care beds in hospitals as well as the distribution of the infection rate and the actual capacities in health authorities.

“It's not about immediately opening everything at the same time.

But I am sure that the first opening steps would be possible - at daycare centers and schools, for example, but also at hairdressers and in retail, "said FDP boss Christian Lindner of the

German press agency

.

“In regions with low infection rates, more opening would be feasible than in hotspot areas.

We also need intelligent concepts, for example the use of quick tests for personal use or air purifiers in public spaces. "

According to the FDP plan, the regional values ​​for the corona situation are to be offset against the incidence value as "dynamic factors": In the highest level 6 from an incidence value higher than 200, only one person is allowed to visit a household, hotels and restaurants remain closed , Daycare centers and schools would be in emergency care and distance learning.

Even in stage 5 - incidence value stable for 14 days below 200 - daycare centers and schools with air filter systems could allow restricted operation.

In level 3 - incidence value for seven days below 50 - hotels and restaurants could open with hygiene requirements.

In stage 1 - incidence value below 35 - full regular operation is planned in all schools.

The plan also names a level 0 with an incidence value less than 10. Then only rules for masks and distances remained in force.

“Different locations require different measures.

The same will be the same, the unequal will be treated unequally ”, said the deputy parliamentary group leader Michael Theurer when presenting the step-by-step plan.

The FDP has the impression that the country is still not in pandemic mode after 12 months of crisis.

"Corona traffic light" of the FDP: Measures should "give people a perspective"

A nationwide set of rules is necessary on how to get out of restrictions, but also tighten them again if they deteriorate, said parliamentary group vice-president Stephan Thomae.

"This is not a one-way street." The health policy spokeswoman for the parliamentary group, Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus, said: "We believe that this will give people a perspective." When the rules change, many people lose their motivation to adhere to the corona protective measures.
