The Corona summer wave currently has Germany firmly in its grip. World Medical Director Frank Montgomery is now calling for a lockdown option to be included in the Infection Protection Act.
Munich – After relaxation was in sight for a short time, the number of infections with the corona virus in Germany is increasing again. While Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann rules out a lockdown in the fall, the chairman of the World Medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, is now demanding exactly that – the possibility of a corona lockdown.
Corona autumn in Germany: Montgomery for lockdown option
Montgomery appeals to politicians that the Infection Protection Act should again enable far-reaching measures to protect against corona. “Anyone who categorically excludes measures such as contact restrictions or lockdowns from the outset has neither understood the meaning of the law nor understood the seriousness of the situation,” Montgomery told the Newspapers of the Funke media group from Wednesday. “Whether the instruments are used later depends on the assessment of the situation. But it should be undisputed that you need them.”
