Before The conference of health ministers had failed to agree on corona protection requirements on Monday evening. For example, there is no unanimous position on the obligation to wear a mask on buses and trains. Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate have also already lifted the isolation requirement of at least five days for those who have tested positive. In Saxony-Anhalt, all corona measures could also expire on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the president of the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler, has advocated further isolating corona-infected people and wearing masks. He told the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” that the extent to which the measures are implemented is “ultimately a political decision”. Isolating yourself with corona disease remains important to protect others. “It is equally important that people continue to wear masks, because that too keeps the number of respiratory illnesses within bounds,” Wieler explained.
