“Omicron Less Dangerous”
And how is the suggestion by Lauterbach and RKI classify? “The fact that the quarantine and isolation rules are now being relaxed corresponds to the political decision to refrain from most measures because Omicron is considered less dangerous.”said WDR-Science journalist Christina Sartori on Thursday.
“Omicron makes you ill, that’s no small thing. But for young, healthy people who are fully vaccinated, or even better, boosted, an infection is usually not dangerous.” However, seniors and people with weakened immune systems should reduce their risk of a severe course of Covid-19 with a fourth vaccination.
“In addition: Because many measures are now no longer being taken, a large number of people will continue to become infected. This could lead to problems in relevant professions if ten days of isolation or quarantine were still required.”
