Virologist Hendrik Streeck is certain that the number of infections in Germany will “increase sharply” in the coming weeks. Are stricter measures now being followed again?
Berlin – The corona numbers in Germany have been at a relatively constant level in the past few weeks. But for a few days the seven-day incidence and the number of new infections have risen sharply again. Despite everything, Health Minister Jens Spahn recently announced that he wanted to let the current epidemic emergency of national scope in Germany expire at the end of November. If it is up to the virologist Hendrik Streeck, Germany could soon be confronted with extreme corona values.
Do strict corona rules follow? Virologist Streeck expects the number of infections to rise “very sharply”
The traffic light parties SPD, Greens and FDP want to let the pandemic emergency expire at the end of November, but then replace it with a transitional regulation limited to March 20, 2022. A process that the virologist Hendrik Streeck in conversation with world advocates. “What I am pleased is that you proceed in a differentiated manner and can react better to outbreaks when the power lies in the parliaments and the countries,” said Streeck. This shows that autumn is being taken seriously.
As the virologist further clarifies in the conversation, it is very likely that the corona numbers will rise sharply again in autumn and winter. Presumably, therefore, the wearing of masks indoors or the 3G rule will continue to be upheld. “These are autumn and winter measures that still make sense,” says Streeck. Depending on the federal state and vaccination status, stronger measures may have to be adopted. “I expect the number of infections to rise sharply,” the virologist is certain in the conversation.
Meanwhile, footballer Joshua Kimmich continues to make headlines. Health politician Karl Lauterbach is ambivalent and makes an offer.
