Jens Spahn apparently wants to let the epidemic situation in Germany run out.
According to the RKI, the risk for vaccinated people is moderate.
Berlin - Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) has spoken out in favor of an expiry of the corona emergency.
A ministry spokesman confirmed this on Monday.
Accordingly, Spahn expressed himself accordingly during the Corona * consultations with the health ministers of the countries.
Since March 2020 Germany has been in the so-called "epidemic situation of national scope".
This expires on November 25, 2021.
The “epidemic situation” gives federal and state governments the authority to issue ordinances on corona measures such as mask requirements, distance and contact restrictions or the procurement of vaccines.
Health Minister Jens Spahn apparently does not want to extend the Corona emergency.
Corona emergency in Germany expires at the end of November
In July 2021, Jens Spahn spoke out against an end to the corona measures *. If a high vaccination rate is achieved, "we can see how we then deal with it," said Spahn. Now the Robert Koch Institute classifies "the risk for vaccinated people as moderate", so in view of the current vaccination rate, the epidemic situation could expire and end as a nationwide exception on November 25, 2021, according to a report by the Ministry of Health SPIEGEL is available.
"This will end a state of emergency that has existed since March 28, 2020 and therefore for almost 19 months," said Spahn.
At the end of August, the Bundestag extended the “epidemic situation of national importance” for a further three months.
It expires automatically if it is not renewed by Parliament.
According to Spahn, from today's perspective, however, a normal state will only be possible in the spring of next year, according to information from the picture.
