SPD health expert Lauterbach is in favor of the federal and state governments agreeing on corona measures again – especially during the coalition negotiations. In terms of incidence, however, there is little movement: According to the RKI, it is 64.4.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach has suggested a new federal-state round to partially tighten the corona rules. “It would make sense for the Prime Ministers to meet the Chancellor again as soon as possible,” Lauterbach told the newspapers of the Funke media group. “There are a lot of decisions to be made in the pandemic – from the corona rules to the booster vaccinations. We must not lose track of the situation during the coalition negotiations,” he said, referring to the talks on the formation of a government.
Lauterbach for more use of 2G
The pandemic will be over in late spring 2022 if no more dangerous virus variant occurs. “But we will have a difficult winter if we do not achieve the necessary vaccination quota.” Therefore, the protective measures could not be terminated significantly.
From his point of view, it is sometimes even about tightening. “We should use the 2G rule more intensively, so only allow vaccinated and convalescents access to restaurants, cinemas or events,” said Lauterbach. This creates an incentive to get vaccinated after all.
Incidence stagnates
