Lauterbach considers the opening of elementary schools and daycare centers possible from mid-January
According to the SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach, daycare centers and primary schools could reopen from the middle of the month. “I can imagine that it would be epidemiologically justifiable to open daycare centers and elementary schools in the second half of January,” Lauterbach told the Rheinische Post. The prerequisite would be that all other grade levels are divided and that classroom and digital lessons are alternately received, or that face-to-face lessons are completely suspended. If, on the other hand, all schools reopen as they did before the holidays, “we run the risk that we will not even reach the incidence value of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week despite lockdowns,” warned the SPD politician.

RKI recorded 12,690 new infections nationwide
In Germany, the number of known coronavirus infections has risen by 12,690, according to data on the website of the Robert Koch Institute. In addition, 336 other deaths were recorded within 24 hours. It is difficult to evaluate the data at the moment because fewer people are likely to be tested during the Christmas holidays and around the turn of the year and not all offices may submit their data. A week ago, on Christmas Day, 14,455 new corona infections and 240 deaths were registered. The high of 1,129 new deaths was reached on Wednesday.

Schleswig-Holstein reports 113 new infections
In Schleswig-Holstein, the number of reported new infections rose by 113. The day before it was 340, a week ago 229. Nine other people died as a result of Covid 19 disease. This brings the total death toll to 436. The seven-day incidence per 100,000 population fell again slightly to 74.2. However, as many tests as usual may not be evaluated and the results reported during the holidays.

Biontech wants to deliver more vaccine to the EU
The Mainz manufacturer Biontech wants to deliver more corona vaccine than the previously planned 300 million vaccine doses to the European Union. The company is “in advanced discussions as to whether and how we can make more vaccine doses available for Europe this year,” company boss Ugur Sahin told the German press agency. The background to this are complaints about the shortage of vaccines in Germany and other EU countries. “Due to the current high number of infections, a speedy vaccine supply is particularly important,” said Sahin. “We are working with the EU to further expand our production capacities.” So far, only the Biontech vaccine has had European approval.
