“Even if the epidemic sounds bad – it’s happening right now”: In contrast to Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD), Bundestag President Bärbel Bas reason for calm when dealing with the corona virus.

BDay President Bärbel Bas is more relaxed about the current corona situation than Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (both SPD). “Even if the epidemic sounds bad – it’s happening right now,” Bas told the “Spiegel”. If you want to wear a mask, do it. But most of them didn’t do that anymore. “All in all, I’m relatively relaxed about autumn.”
Germany is well positioned with the vaccines, even if they did not prevent transmission, said the President of Parliament. It depends on whether we get virus variants from autumn that cause more severe courses than omicron. “If not, then we should say: If you’re sick, you stay at home. Just as one would reasonably deal with any other disease.”

Future of the Corona rules – – – – –
With a view to possible protective measures for the fall, Bas called for a mask requirement indoors. This is also advisable in winter because of other infectious diseases. “And the fourth vaccination should then make sense for many.” However, she does not see a closure of clubs and discos at the moment.
Lauterbach has predicted a difficult autumn, especially with regard to the Omicron variant, and has spoken out in favor of wearing masks indoors. He is currently advising Federal Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (FDP) on the future corona measures in the new Infection Protection Act. The current law expires on September 23.
