Stricter measures against Corona required

Due to the increased number of infections in Germany, there are increasing demands for a tougher procedure. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach spoke out in several interviews for curfews. In addition, model projects for easing would have to be stopped. After Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had already proposed to shut down social life completely for two weeks, Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) said: “From a pandemic point of view, that would be best.” However, one has to weigh up whether it makes sense and is feasible to close everything. Chancellery chief Helge Braun (CDU) called for regional exit restrictions. “If the number of infections rises rapidly parallel to the vaccination, the risk increases that the next virus mutation will become immune to the vaccine,” he told the “Bild am Sonntag”. The next federal-state summit on the corona situation is planned for April 12th – Lauterbach requested an earlier date in the “Tagesspiegel”.

According to this, there were 3.06 days of absence per insured woman. That is more than twice as many as for men. “The aim must be to stop the trend and to help those affected with suitable offers and care concepts,” demanded Hansen.
