New corona infections have been falling for weeks, the nationwide incidence is 41. Nevertheless, the federal government is apparently planning to extend the corona emergency brake.

Berlin / Munich - The vaccination campaign is picking up speed, the R value and new corona infections are falling.

The nationwide Corona emergency brake has been suspended in many cities and districts.

The package of measures should contain the infection rate in hotspots (incidence over 100).

Strict measures are planned for this purpose: meetings with a maximum of one other household, limited leisure and sports activities and a nightly curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. includes, among other things, the nationwide emergency brake.

The package of measures actually expires on June 30th, but as the

reports, the regulation is to be extended - until the end of September!

Merkel's Corona measures: is an extension of the emergency brake pending?

The federal emergency brake was issued to prevent corona infections and to relieve the health system in regions with a high incidence.

The measures should curb the infection incidence nationwide and create legal security in the federal states.

The nationwide emergency brake has been in force since April 23, but the legal basis for the package of measures expires on June 30.

An extension does not seem to be ruled out.

"The emergency brake could be extended until September 30th," quoted the

on May 28th, a member of the Union's top.

Federal emergency brake: package of measures could continue until September 30th

No federal state in Germany has an incidence higher than 60, but the federal emergency brake only applies from 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants. As

reported by

Bild

, the package of measures is also intended to extend the status of the “epidemic situation” until the end of September, thus providing the justification for the federal emergency brake. In the governing coalition of the CDU / CSU and SPD, a majority would at least be found in favor of extending the “epidemic situation”. It remains to be seen whether the federal emergency brake will actually be extended to September 30th. Negotiations on how to proceed are currently ongoing. In addition to the federal emergency brake, the vaccination campaign is intended to help fight the coronavirus. The vaccinations for children and adolescents in particular are causing heated debates.
