Germany is at the beginning of the third corona wave.

On Monday, those responsible will again discuss how to proceed in the Federal Republic of Germany at a summit.

Berlin / Frankfurt - On Monday (March 22nd, 2021) there will again be federal-state consultations on Germany's further strategy in the corona pandemic *.

In the run-up to the summit, a draft resolution was already made public.

It deals with central points that should help to break the third corona wave - an overview of the corona summit. *

Corona summit - what the federal and state governments advise

Lockdown:
According to the draft resolution, the lockdown in Germany is to be extended until April 18, 2021.
Emergency brake:
This should be "implemented consistently", it says in the paper.
In the past few weeks, some districts, even entire federal states, had not adhered to it.
The regulation may also be tightened.
For example, the city of Offenbach is threatened with a curfew: Although the incidence value there is currently 196.5, the proposed resolution mentions new restrictions from an incidence of 100. *
Restrictions:
These curfews should apply "unless there are serious reasons" until 5:00 in the morning.
The strategy paper does not name a starting point.
Another point is the mask requirement.
In a draft published by the SPD-led federal states, it says, for example, that in areas in which no home office is possible, “medical masks must always be worn when several people are in a room”.
Easing:
General easing is not planned for the time being.
However, the draft decision does not exclude such, for example in regions with a stable low incidence value.
These can be relaxed in public life.
For the Easter holidays there are apparently special regulations regarding the contact restrictions. *
Test strategy:
In the draft resolution, the economy is called upon to create "rapid implementation of the test offers" for employees.
In this way, presence operation should be made possible again.
Two weekly offers are planned to be tested for Sars-CoV-2.
According to the paper, the test strategy should continue to apply to schools and daycare centers.
If children cannot be tested for the coronavirus at least twice a week, there is a risk of temporary closure of the company.
