The discussion about restrictions for the unvaccinated is gaining momentum.
Helge Braun now explains why these are necessary and when they should take effect.
Berlin - Helge Braun (CDU) is causing a sensation with his advance on possible restrictions for unvaccinated people.
Opponents and supporters of such a measure speak up.
Now the Chancellery Minister has
defended
himself in an
interview broadcast
on
Bild Live
.
According to Braun, the background is that if there is a high incidence of infections, you want to avoid reintroducing general contact restrictions in order to slow down the coronavirus.
Braun did not rule out overloading the hospitals and intensive care units, as the Delta variant is gaining ground.
Braun defends the initiative to restrict people who have not been vaccinated: a vaccination rate of 85 percent is necessary to avoid this
With a high vaccination quota, a lot can be made possible for those tested, similar to those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered.
But if the vaccination quota is not high enough, it could be necessary as a "last resort" to introduce contact restrictions for unvaccinated people, according to Braun.
Referring to the RKI, Braun called a vaccination quota in the direction of 85 percent in order to avoid restrictions for unvaccinated people.
This can be achieved because surveys show that 15 percent of the population are not ready to be vaccinated.
Braun defends push for restrictions for unvaccinated people: Call for acceptance of a vaccination offer
Braun affirmed that there must be compulsory testing for those who have not been vaccinated and that there must be further tightening in the case of high numbers of infections.
Braun justifies the fact that tests of re-vaccinated people are not sufficient when there are high numbers of infections, among other things, with the fact that 40 percent of infections are not detected in such tests.
In the case of a high infection rate, this becomes a relevant factor.
"As vaccination progresses, the pandemic loses its horror," said Braun.
Therefore, people should now quickly take advantage of a vaccination offer.
You have to vaccinate faster than the delta wave spreads.
