Many step-by-step plans from the country leaders await the next Corona summit with Chancellor Merkel.
There is already one from sport and culture.
In the corona pandemic, culture and sport are largely idle.
Industry representatives have now presented a step-by-step plan for a lockdown exit.
Scientists from various disciplines helped develop it.
Update from February 21, 7:35 p.m.:
Many in the country are hoping for easing - and the simulation games for the way out of lockdown are increasing, from DFB (see first report) to FDP.
But on Sunday the federal government rejected a clear route towards openings.
Health Minister Jens Spahn even spoke in the ARD program "Report from Berlin" of a target incidence number below 10.
“Everyone wants a three- and six-month plan, but that's just not possible.
I think we shouldn't make false promises, ”said the minister in the evening.
First of all, in view of the increasing spread of virus mutations, he wants to wait and see how the opening of further schools and daycare centers will affect this Monday.
"It makes sense to work together - that's the conversation with the countries - to define the stages at which the next step can be taken," emphasized Spahn.
"But the truth is: an incidence of less than 10, which is at least quite a long way off in most regions in Germany," said Spahn.
Sport and culture despite Corona?
Associations apply pressure - but politics slows down: "It's kind of a step-by-step plan"
Update from February 21, 2021, 6:25 p.m.:
Is there finally easing in Germany and a way out of the corona lockdown?
An alliance of several associations at least demands that - but the chances are still not very good.
At the weekend, SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach again warned of a "third wave".
The influential Union parliamentary group leader Ralph Brinkhaus (CDU) also dampened expectations of a new “step-by-step plan” at the weekend.
“Paragraph 28a of the Infection Protection Act with the incidences of 35 and 50 is a step-by-step plan,” he told
Welt am Sonntag
.
At the same time, he emphasized that one could not “orientate oneself to a“ static view of incidences ”: The spread of the mutations and the progress of vaccination also played a role.
But Brinkhaus did give a little hope for openings.
Parts of the retail trade were always open anyway, he explained - "I assume that we will differentiate further in the near future."
The chairman of the Prime Minister's Conference, Berlin's Governing Mayor Michael Müller (SPD), meanwhile announced a “perspective for the spectrum of possible openings”.
The plan should not only be based on the number of new infections in the previous week.
"We will include several factors," said Müller
Stuttgarter Zeitung
and
Stuttgarter Nachrichten
.
Corona easing in Germany?
“Really difficult phase” - politics gives vague hope, but above all slows down
"The incidence value remains important, but an R-value well below 1 and a falling utilization of intensive care medicine will also be important criteria for the next easing step".
Müller advocated that the Prime Minister's Conference should be based on the legally stipulated incidence values of 35 and 50.
In view of the virus mutations, among other things, he also made it clear that the step-by-step plan was “not a one-way street in the direction of easing”.
"If necessary, we will have to adopt restrictions again if the numbers rise sharply again, as in other European countries."
Politicians are nevertheless aware of the expectation.
Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) spoke of a "really difficult phase" of the pandemic at a discussion in his house broadcast on the Internet on Saturday.
Everyone is tired after twelve months.
There is an expectation that with a decrease in the number of new infections, the restrictions will also go a little further.
With a view to school and daycare openings, the Association of Education and Upbringing (VBE) warned against an opening competition between the countries.
"The openings are not a competition in which the federal state wins, which implements the most extensive easing and risks the health of all those involved to the maximum," said VBE boss Udo Beckmann to the editorial network Germany.
In Bavaria, the upcoming school openings at the weekend caused displeasure.

Initial report from February 20, 2021:
Berlin - hairdressers will be allowed to reopen soon, retail is being discussed - but when can you go back to a concert, cinema, theater or to the game of your favorite team?
There is now a three-step plan for science, sport and culture.
It will be presented on Monday (February 22nd).
The
dpa has
already received the paper.
The approach makes it possible to transport “mass events with reasonable effort and top events with relevant additional investments back to the audience and guests”, it says.
The
Bild
newspaper
had previously
reported.
Large events despite Corona: DFB and German stage association among level plan supporters
The paper is supported by 20 scientists as well as numerous associations and organizers, including the German Football Association (DFB) and the German Stage Association.
According to
the
dpa
, the
guideline
initially
provides
for this "basic concept":
In the case of closed rooms, the following is a prerequisite: The occupancy of each location is between 25 and 30 percent.
Every organizer should adhere to a hygiene, ventilation and infection protection concept.
Mandatory are: personalized tickets, which are checked together with the ID.
Also mandatory are: medical masks.
Minimum clearances apply (with correspondingly empty rows of seats).
No sale of food or drinks.
In the outdoor area, an occupancy rate of up to 40 percent is then possible.
Mask compulsory should apply up to the seats, with more than 1000 visitors there should be no alcohol.
The basic model for indoors and outdoors does not distinguish whether visitors already have a vaccination or not.
Sport and culture in spite of Corona: Initiative against "wild growth of hygiene concepts"
Any increase beyond that requires an “individual special concept”, the 21-page paper also states.
A hygiene concept with high standards should "prevent uncontrolled 'wild growth' of hygiene concepts".
The variant named in the paper “maximum model” requires a test strategy with, among other things, digital support for contact management.
Antigen tests before each event would also be mandatory.
The paper assumes that access is then possible up to the full occupancy.

When will the ranks be filled again?
