Anschober: “Don’t be careless”
The lock works, the mass testing must continue, and it is important not to be reckless. Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) emphasized this on Sunday. You’re on the right track, but the numbers “are still too high.” As for the store openings, the department head appealed to commerce and the population.
“The goal should be that we can further reduce the number of new infections to 1,000 cases,” Anschober said. That would have an impact on the whole system: “Because first the number of new infections will decrease, then after a week or two the hospitalizations, a little later the ICU numbers and finally with a further delay the mortality rate.” With massive testing, it will be possible “to recognize thousands of new, unknown infections without symptoms and remove them from the infection cycle,” Anschober stressed. For him, “the phase of shopping days and holidays” is a decisive long-term scenario in the fight against pandemics. Crowds should be avoided and only absolutely necessary physical contact should be made with minimal distance. The minister called on retailers and “especially shopping malls” to adhere to the strict requirements.
