The chairman of the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko), Thomas Mertens, assumes that most of the corona restrictions can be lifted in mid-2022.
"I am very hopeful that we will be able to live normally in the middle of the year," said Mertens on Wednesday on the sidelines of the Bodensee Business Forum of the "Schwäbische Zeitung" in Friedrichshafen.
Friedrichshafen - That means "that we can move normally in everyday life".
The prerequisite for this is above all good protection for people with a high risk of severe Covid 19 diseases, emphasized the virologist.
“We achieved that very well in Germany.
There is no mass death in this group in our country. ”Above all, the initial prioritization of risk groups for the corona vaccination was“ a resounding success ”.
