Doctors warn urgently.

Corona in Germany: The incidence value is currently 99.9.
However, easing at Easter could accelerate a third wave, warn doctors.
The situation is underestimated.
This
news ticker
on the Corona * crisis in Germany is updated regularly.
Berlin - Germany is just before the critical 100 mark.
On Saturday the
incidence value was 99.9
- slightly higher than the previous day (95.6).
Within one day, 16,033 new corona infections were reported to the RKI *.
A significant increase from the numbers a week ago (12,674 new cases).
Nevertheless, some federal states are apparently already thinking of further opening steps.
Corona in Germany: Rhineland-Palatinate opens outdoor catering - despite increasing numbers
Despite the increasing number of infections, the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate Malu Dreyer wants to facilitate further relaxation with the "Rhineland-Palatinate model".
From Monday (March 22nd) the outdoor catering should open again.
A "safety mechanism" will help to react quickly if the incidence increases.
With a seven-day incidence * over 100, the "emergency brake" will be pulled, as agreed in the step-by-step plan, Dreyer said on Friday in Mainz.
The state currently has an incidence of 69 (as of 19.3, 0.00 a.m.).
Other measures, such as negative corona test results and protective measures in the restaurants, are intended to additionally limit the risk of infection.
The aim of the opening is to create an opportunity “that people can hike with us during the upcoming Easter holidays and stop in a garden restaurant instead of flying to Mallorca,” explained Dreyer.

The gastronomy is currently still closed nationwide.
If Malu Dreyer has his way, that could soon change.

Corona in Germany: The Easter holidays are approaching - other federal states also see opportunities in their own country
The Easter and Easter holidays are drawing closer.
Other federal states are therefore also aiming for holidays in their own country.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig wants to campaign for “contactless holidays” in Germany.
“Nobody understands that the Mallorca vacation is being preferred to vacationing in one's own country for epidemiological reasons,” she said on Friday morning on Deutschlandfunk.
The travel warning for Mallorca was recently lifted.
"The current situation speaks for Rostock and against Mallorca," emphasized Schwesig.
Traveling abroad had already emerged as a problem last year.
Corona in Germany: Experts warn - Doctors fear third wave of easing
“I expect an even more critical situation from Easter than at the turn of the year”: The head of the Marburger Bund doctors' organization, Susanne Johna, sees the situation as
critical
in an interview with the
Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung
, as does the RKI.
"The effect that the baby boomers in particular will be affected is still clearly underestimated," says the doctor.
"The agreed emergency brake must definitely be pulled, there must be no exceptions," she is sure.
Loosening up to an incidence of 200 would immediately lead to a “complete overload” of the hospitals without a strict test strategy *, as in Tübingen.
The buffer in the intensive care units "will melt away rapidly".
Johna sees the problem in the increasing spread of mutations *.
These would significantly increase the risk of hospitalization.
"It is simply not true that the vaccination of the
very old is
sufficient to avert a health emergency." Therefore, Johna's plea for Easter: "As few close contacts as possible."
