Anyone who has been proven to be infected with Corona must first stay at home. That applies so far. The National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians has now come up with a far-reaching proposal. The idea is controversial.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Andreas Gassen, has spoken out in favor of lifting all corona isolation and quarantine obligations. These should “be lifted until further notice, which would alleviate the shortage of staff in many places,” Gassen told the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (Saturday). “We have to get back to normal. Those who are sick stay at home. Those who feel healthy go to work. That’s how we deal with other infectious diseases like the flu.” The Ministry of Health immediately objected.
