Player advisor:
Corona
for youngsters and German football "great danger"
5:01 a.m.:
The player advisor Dirk Hebel has warned of the serious consequences of the corona pandemic for future generations of footballers. "This problem is greater in Germany than in other European countries where the offspring has been less restricted, while the junior Bundesliga has been on hold since the pandemic and training has also been suspended," the 48-year-old told the "kicker" .
The generations of the U18 and U19 are not as strong as previous years in youth football.
“As I said, the players who come after that are neglected.
If we don't act, nothing will come of it.
And what do we do then?
This is a really big danger for German football, "said Hebel, whose clients include Marco Reus from Borussia Dortmund and Lars Stindl from Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Almost half of the population vaccinated at least once
04.21 a.m.:
In the sixth month after the start of the corona vaccination campaign in Germany, almost half of the population received at least one first dose.
According to data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Sunday, the rate of first-vaccinated citizens was 48.1 percent, 25.7 percent already have full protection.
"In order to largely forego measures, more than 80 percent of the population needed immune protection - either through full vaccination or through infection plus vaccination," said RKI President Lothar Wieler in early June. Should one have to face an even more contagious virus variant in the future, an even higher proportion would be necessary.
Carsten Watzl, Secretary General of the German Society for Immunology, fears for Germany that vaccination fatigue could set in once 50 percent and more have been vaccinated: "If we manage to keep the incidences low over the summer, 30-year-olds, who did not get a vaccination appointment in the spring may ask why they should be vaccinated now.
You might be wondering where your risk is. ”In other countries that already have higher rates, it became apparent that the campaigns stalled at a certain point.
Watzl is certain that there will be a fourth wave, in autumn at the latest.
"How big it will be depends on the success of the vaccination and the level of incidence at the end of summer."
From today pharmacies will issue digital
corona
vaccination certificates
02.48 a.m.:
People who are fully vaccinated against the corona virus can pick up a digital vaccination certificate from pharmacies from Monday.
However, the pharmacists' associations pointed out that the number of participating pharmacies was still limited in the first few days for technical and organizational reasons and asked for patience.
The mein-apothekenmanager.de website will show from Monday which pharmacy on site offers the digital vaccination certificate.
The digital proof is a voluntary addition to the yellow paper vaccination book that is still valid.
Germany is thus implementing a project of the European Union.
For this purpose, uniform details of a certificate were agreed with which one can prove vaccinations, tests and survived Covid-19 diseases.
The app should be able to be used as evidence in case of relaxed corona restrictions and facilitate travel in Europe during the summer vacation time.

Federal Health
Minister
Jens Spahn considers a gradual end of the mask requirement to be conceivable in view of the sharply falling number of infections - but advises in case of doubt to continue wearing mouth and nose protection.
"In the case of falling incidences, we should proceed in stages: In a first step, the requirement to wear a mask outside can generally be omitted," Spahn told the newspapers of the Funke media group.
Read the full announcement here.
Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht had previously pleaded for a cautious relaxation of the mask requirement.

"It owes it to the billion people we protect every day that NATO constantly adapts and evolves to meet new challenges and emerging threats," Johnson said, according to the statement.

"NATO is important not only for the security of the United Kingdom, but for the security of all of us."
Wismar: Corona vaccination campaign at MV Werften
00:10:
In a large public corona vaccination campaign at the MV Werften in Wismar, well over 1000 people were protected against the virus on Sunday. According to the Wismar ENT doctor Michael Salz, a total of almost 1900 vaccine doses from the manufacturer Johnson & Johnson were available. Every citizen could register for an appointment on an internet portal. However, the list of appointments was quickly full, so that a replacement list was created.
According to the information, Salz had been able to order the vaccination doses and was looking for a suitable place to have as many vaccinations as possible in a short period of time.
MV Werften then agreed and reorganized the company canteen for the day.
There were a total of 13 booths in which vaccinations were carried out at the same time.
Only one vaccination is required with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
For reasons of hygiene, the shipyard used a one-way system for the path concept.
However, the path was laid out in such a way that a view of the dock hall and thus of the "Global" ship was possible.
The giant cruise ship "Global 1" is due to be delivered in the coming year.
