It's much safer than when people get together in groups at home or in a city park, ”said Zöllick:“ You can't lock people up permanently.
Our industry is not the problem, but the solution. "
The 50-year-old criticized politics sharply.

We have a pandemic for a year, but we don't feel like we're learning anything! ", Said the hotelier:" We also expect maximum effort when vaccinating and testing as well as reliability.

Corona: Lauterbach celebrates "Game Changer" drug - hope in the fight against Long Covid
Update from April 11, 1:01 p.m.:
In the fight against Corona, an asthma drug could make a significant contribution.
According to a study by Oxford University in the UK, which has now been published in the prestigious medical journal "The Lancet", the budesonide asthma spray has proven to be particularly effective in treating corona diseases.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach even sees the steroid as a "game changer" in the treatment of Covid-19, as he wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
Inhaling the drug works for everyone and reduces the hospital risk by around 90 percent if it is taken three days after the onset of symptoms, Lauterbach summarizes the study results.
The member of the Bundestag even sees a glimmer of hope for avoiding long-term corona consequences based on the research results.
"In addition, the probability of LongCovid is likely to decrease, as the results suggest," writes Lauterbach.
Corona pandemic in Germany: Ex-Judges' Association boss "stunned" about the planned infection protection law
Update from April 11th, 12:07 pm:
“You rarely see me stunned.
But now the time has come. ”With these clear words, the former chairman of the German Association of Judges, Jens Gnisa, is indignant about plans by the federal government to tighten the infection protection law.
Gnisa wrote on Facebook on Saturday that the federal government was shooting well beyond all limits of proportionality.
For him, the proposals represented a "permanent lockdown that could no longer be captured".
Gnisa called it a “disregard of the judiciary” if night curfews had to be imposed within seven days of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants - although the courts had questioned their effectiveness.
In his view, the strict contact restrictions are also legally dubious.
To forbid parents from an incidence of 100 to meet their children, in his view, does not correspond to the image of the Basic Law.
In the end, the director of the Bielefeld district court even appeals to the population.
"Write to your member of the Bundestag and appeal to him not to approve this law in this form!"
Corona numbers in Germany: the most important indicators are increasing significantly
Update from April 11,
8:21 a.m
.:
17,855 new infections with the corona virus were recorded in Germany within one day on Sunday morning by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
In addition, the health authorities reported 104 more deaths.
The nationwide seven-day incidence rose to 129.2.
The day before, this was 120.6.
Compared to the previous week, when the incidence was given at 127, the increase seems manageable.
At the moment, however, the numbers should be treated with caution, as they are likely to be too low due to fewer tests and reports about Easter.
The RKI expects the value to be reliable again in the course of the coming week.
Corona in Germany: Situation seems serious - "Situation very, very serious"
On Friday, RKI President Lothar Wieler emphasized in Berlin that there was already enough additional data that would provide information about the actual situation.
"Unfortunately, this development shows that the situation is very, very serious." According to data from around 70 clinics across Germany, more and more and younger people have to be treated in hospitals for severe respiratory infections.
The intensive care units filled rapidly.
Weltärzte boss Frank Ulrich Montgomery even warned of the threat of triage on Saturday.
The RKI has counted 2,998,268 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 2,671,200.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 78,353.
Coronavirus in Germany: R-value has increased significantly according to the RKI
According to the RKI management report on Saturday, the nationwide seven-day R-value rose from 0.90 the previous day to 1.02.
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 102 more people.
The R-value has risen significantly again, writes the RKI.
The drop in value observed in the days after Easter could have been due to the temporarily lower number of tests.
According to the RKI, the R-value can only be meaningfully evaluated again in a few days.
Head of the intensive register warns: "Something has to happen NOW"
The head of the intensive care registry Christian Karagiannidis also warned on Twitter on Saturday that the situation in the intensive care units seems to be getting worse.
"Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have reached the peak of occupancy of ALL intensive care beds today," he wrote with reference to two graphics.
“The staff is breaking away,” he warned.
"Even if there is a hard lockdown, the numbers continue to rise for 10-14 days." His demand: "Something has to happen NOW." The German government is currently discussing uniform, incidence-related tightening of an emergency braking law.

Corona in Germany: The utilization of intensive care beds continues to rise - but there are also positive developments
Update from April 10, 4:11 p.m.:
After the holidays, the corona numbers rise again
(see first report).
And not just that number.
The occupancy of the intensive care beds continues to increase, as the report of the DIVI intensive care register informs.
According to the report, 4,532 corona patients were treated in intensive care in Germany on Saturday.
That is 17 more than the day before.
However, the number of invasively treated patients fell by 16 to a value of 2,534.
Across Germany, just under 3,119 of around 23,705 beds (the capacity for adults) are currently still free.
There are still positive developments in vaccination rates.
Although Friday did not bring a new record, as was the case on the two days before *, it caused the number of vaccine doses to be distributed again to increase significantly.
633,613 new first vaccinations and 86,314 second vaccinations were distributed, reported the RKI.
The interim result is thus: Over 12 million first vaccinated (exactly: 12,204,176 or 15.2 percent of the population) and about five million people who already received the second vaccination.
(exactly: 4,831,522 or 5.9 percent of the population)

The triage will "definitely" be back in the room, Montgomery told the
Passauer Neue Presse
on Saturday.
Triage means that medical professionals must decide who to help first due to scarce resources.
“We were very grateful that it wasn't needed in the first two waves.
It is conceivable that there will be situations in which it is used. "
World doctors boss on Corona in Germany: "Will now be caught up in the clinics"
Montgomery is certain that the hospitals need to prepare: "We are now being caught up in the clinics by the infections that took place four weeks ago."
Europe's largest university clinic, the Berlin Charité, had announced that it would employ more employees in Covid-19 areas again in the coming week and reduce plannable interventions.
Charité virologist Christian Drosten tweeted a drastic medical report to his more than 700,000 followers on Thursday - headed: "This is an emergency call."

A second important value is also currently increasing again.
The nationwide 7-day R-value * is now 0.90 (previous day: 0.80).
If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
