The federal and state governments want to control the number of dramatically increasing corona infections with massive contact restrictions during November. According to information from SPIEGEL, the measures should enter into force in Germany from November 2 and not from November 4 as originally foreseen in the federal resolution. As of Monday, only a maximum of ten people from two households should be able to meet in public. According to information from SPIEGEL, Merkel calculated that if contacts were not reduced, there would be 28,000 infections per day in a week, which would double the current value.
The catering establishments must close the rest of the month as of Monday. This does not apply to the delivery and collection of food for consumption at home; dining rooms should be allowed to remain open.
Schools, kindergartens, and wholesalers and retailers should also remain open.
Drosten and Söder for stricter measures
North Rhine-Westphalia Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) had previously spoken of November as “decision month” in view of the growing number of new infections. Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) called for stricter crown measures even before the conference: “It is better to be right and right than late and half,” Söder said.
Virologist Christian Drosten also argued for a temporary shutdown. “If the load becomes too great, then you have to take a break,” said the Charité scientist in the episode of the “Coronavirus Update” published by NDR-Info on Tuesday night.
For the moment, the incidence in Germany remains comparatively low. “If we hit the brakes now, it would have a very lasting effect. That would save us a lot of time.” About three weeks – It takes a little over a quarantine period from a scientist’s point of view. “The incidence is then significantly reduced and then also reduced in the long term under certain circumstances.”
Almost 15,000 new infections in Germany
Health authorities reported 14,964 new corona infections in one day on Wednesday morning, a record since the start of the pandemic. A week ago the number was 7595. However, the current values are only partially comparable to the spring values, as many more tests are now being done and more infections are being discovered as a result.
