B.Unhealth Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) shared a picture on Twitter that evening in which he secretly peeked through the window: “I found that on the Internet. It is not entirely wrong. I wish you a nice final evening in 2021 and appeal to everyone to be careful one last time, “he wrote and warned:” Don’t overdo it. I see you. Happy New Year. KL “.
Lauterbach demonstrated humor, but also used the attention of the viral tweet to remind everyone of the responsibility. Citizens should continue to test themselves and meet in “very small groups” and think of face masks “where necessary”.
For those who complain about symptoms, the Federal Minister of Health also has one advice: “Watch TV alone”.
For next year there will be “light at the end of the tunnel”, he also said on Friday evening in the ZDF New Year’s Eve show from the Brandenburg Gate. The Omikron variant would be another difficult challenge. “But it looks like this variant is a little less dangerous than the Delta variant.” That is a ray of hope. It is not yet known exactly whether this also applies to the unvaccinated.
