Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: Head of the health authorities for continuation of the curfew
From a medical point of view, the decision of a court in
Baden-Württemberg
to
lift
the
curfew
in the southwest is “fatal.
I can understand everyone who would like to travel, go out or party again, "said
Germany's
first medical officer:" But at the moment we are only dealing with a yo-yo effect.
If we get reckless now, all efforts would be in vain, we would get the next explosion immediately and land in an eternal ping-pong of climbs and decreases. "
Germany
would slip away from the infection process “as soon as the highly contagious new virus variants spread.
It would be better
to extend
the
lockdown
”, said Teichert and explained:“ An incidence of 50 is still far too much.
We'd have to get in a very low range below an incidence of ten or at least 20.
Only then does one have air in the system. "
