SZ podcast “On the Point” – News from August 26th, 2021 – Knowledge


Germany is in the fourth wave of the pandemic. The number of new infections with the coronavirus is increasing. The Robert Koch Institute reports over 12,600 new cases for Wednesday. And yet responsible politicians want to relax restrictions. Markus Söder announces for Bavaria, for example, that the FFP2 mask requirement will be dropped and that surgical masks will be put on an equal footing.

Vaccination makes it possible: Almost two thirds of Germans are at least once vaccinated against the coronavirus. Nevertheless, one is not yet close enough to the so-called herd immunity, says Christine Falk, the president of the German Society for Immunology.

Further news: Evacuation mission in Afghanistan ends, Söder blames CDU for low polls.
