"By the end of the summer every German will receive a vaccination offer," emphasizes Laschet.
The NRW Prime Minister tries to spread optimism.
But: "Until then, we need a bridge lockdown," the NRW Prime Minister demands.
In many areas, it must be added towards lockdown.
For example, curfews are an effective means, comprehensive tests for daycare centers and debts as well as a home office offensive in the next two to three weeks.
The Corona summit planned for March 12 must be brought forward this week and take place in attendance, said Laschet.
In North Rhine-Westphalia the incidence is 123.9.
This value and the numbers are only partially meaningful, there will be delays in reporting.
However, the indicator of Covid patients who need intensive medical treatment is real.
"These people are in an intensive care unit."

Spahn: "Vaccination does not prevent the third wave"
Update from April 5, 12:36 p.m
.: Federal
Minister of
Health Jens Spahn (CDU) warns of the continuing risk of infection from the corona virus.
"Vaccination does not prevent the third wave, the third wave is growing," said the CDU politician in Berlin during a visit to the Messe vaccination center.
Countries with a higher vaccination rate such as Chile, Great Britain or the USA showed that contact restrictions are still necessary.
Spahn calls the situation in the intensive care units and in the clinics * in view of increasing occupancy rates worrying.
"We have to break this third wave and reduce contacts," he said.
“Especially in the private sector, in schools, at work, wherever it is possible.” The minister calls on the federal states to apply the emergency brake consistently in order to bring the numbers down.
Spahn also expects that 20 percent of the population will have received a first dose of vaccine by the end of April.
In the first quarter, due to the shortage of vaccines, only about ten percent of Germans were vaccinated, "we will now be able to do the next ten percent in a month," said Spahn on Monday when visiting a vaccination center in Berlin.
Spahn emphasized that the vaccination campaign will "gain more and more speed in the second quarter"
Corona in Germany: British mutant at almost 90 percent - the worst hotspot is now in Bavaria
First report from April 5:
Berlin / Munich - Germany's corona hotspot is currently in Bavaria: Hof has a 7-day incidence of 469.2 (as of April 5).
With this value, the Bavarian city is the new front runner in new corona infections.
Greiz (Thuringia) is in second place with 429.2.
That comes from the data of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
In Bavaria as a whole, the 7-day incidence is currently 132.2 and in Thuringia with 227.8 it is the highest in Germany (see list below).
Corona hotspots in Germany according to the RKI (data status: April 5, 3.09 a.m.)
SK Hof - 469.2 (previous day: 469.2) - 12 new infections within 24 hours
LK Greiz - 429.2 (previous day: 481.5) - 45 new infections within 24 hours
SK Gera - 344.7 (previous day: 345.8) - no new corona cases reported according to RKI.
Corona situation in Germany
The Robert Koch Institute * (RKI) recorded 8,497 new corona infections on Easter Monday.
That is 1,375 fewer cases than on Monday a week ago.
In addition, 50 other people died within one day of or with a corona infection *.
However, the corona case numbers on the Easter holidays are less meaningful.
The RKI expressly points this out.
Fewer tests would be done and reported, and fewer people would see a doctor.
So there may be late registrations and corrections in the next few days.
The 7-day incidence nationwide is 128.0.
According to the RKI experts, this value could explode after the Easter holidays *, reports

*.
The corona mutation B.1.1.7, first discovered in Great Britain, now has a share of 88 percent in Germany.

7-day incidence in selected federal states
Thuringia: 227.8
Saxony: 189.7
Saxony-Anhalt: 159.5
Schleswig-Holstein: 67.7
