Thuringia | Vaccination center for south-west Thuringia required
In a joint letter to Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow, three districts in southwest Thuringia and the city of Suhl have requested a vaccination center for the region as soon as possible. A vaccination center should not be set up in southwest Thuringia until mid-April, while in other regions vaccination will be carried out on a large scale weeks beforehand, the letter says. Many old people have to go to Erfurt to have their vaccinations because they don’t get any appointments in their regions. The vaccination center planned in Meiningen must be opened earlier, additional capacities must be created quickly, they say.

The signatories gave a damning testimony to the country’s communication policy – it was “underground”. You miss any support from the country. It could not be that in other federal states free rapid tests have been distributed to the lower health authorities for months, but the state with the highest incidences does not offer any help. Nor can it be that not all nursing homes are vaccinated and groups with the highest risk of serious and fatal courses cannot be protected.

The letter was signed by District Administrator Peggy Greiser (Schmalkalden-Meiningen), District Administrator Thomas Müller (Hildburghausen), District Administrator Reinhard Krebs (Wartburgkreis) and Lord Mayor André Knapp (City of Suhl).

Thuringia | In the future, municipalities should decide for themselves when schools will be opened
In Thuringia, districts and independent cities are to decide for themselves whether schools will be opened or closed because of the corona incidence. This emerges from a joint letter from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education to the districts and independent cities, which MDR THÜRINGEN has received. Accordingly, the previous regulation, according to which schools must be closed with an incidence of 200 or more, is no longer applicable. Now only the recommendation applies: Close if the incidence rises above 150. What is also new is that rules do not always have to be made for an entire district. Instead, more detailed decisions can be made. For example, only students from 5th grade could be sent to home study, or only students in a community. The regulation applies to general and vocational schools.

The districts were informed about these new possibilities on Friday. Now they have to implement them in their general directives. Only then are they valid. There had been a lot of criticism of the previous regulation. For example, the district assembly and the district administrator of the Wartburg district, Reinhard Krebs, demanded more freedom of choice.
