When is the corona pandemic over?
The head of statutory health insurance physicians, Andreas Gassen, gives a forecast that gives rise to hope.
Berlin - is the end of the corona pandemic in sight?
Maybe another half to nine months, says the head of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV).
"I assume that Corona will end in spring 2022," said Andreas Gassen of the Düsseldorf
Rheinische Post
.
“Until then, the vaccination rate will be a little higher, but above all the number of people who have recovered with antibodies will also increase.
Restrictions will then probably become completely unnecessary. ”Virologist Klaus Stöhr predicted
a“ dramatic relaxation ”

Gassen believes the pandemic will end in spring - but before that, the numbers will rise again
But Gassen also said that the number of infections would rise again in autumn.
Returners from some countries have already driven up the number of infections.
The number of serious illnesses will, however, remain well below that of last winter.
Gassen would not see any major concerns in the medical profession that the health system could collapse.
"So a little more serenity would be appropriate without becoming reckless," said Gassen in the
Rheinische Post
.
In Germany, the 7-day incidence rose slightly again.
