Apparently, the European Union already has precise plans on how Europe should return to normal in the Corona crisis.
So World Reports, the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen (61, CDU) proposes a gradual elimination of emergency measures against the corona pandemic with long intervals.
This is what the EU plan looks like
► Local facilitation: EU states should first lift existing measures of restriction of freedom at the local level and then gradually expand openness, according to the unpublished “exit strategy” which the newspaper quotes. Under this plan, restrictions could be quickly reintroduced locally if necessary.
► Gradual loosening: The individual measures should be phased out so that there is sufficient time between the individual steps. As a benchmark, the authors declare a month between individual loosenings.
► Protect older people longer: In principle, the measures should be less comprehensive and, therefore, more specific than before. Consequently, the “most vulnerable groups, for example the oldest” must be protected for the longest time.
School classes must be reduced
► There are no large groups of people yet: Even groups of people should only be allowed back gradually. In stores, the number of concurrent customers must initially be limited. In schools, children should be able to keep a sufficient distance between themselves and classes should be reduced.
Bars, restaurants, and cultural institutions, such as movie theaters, should only reopen gradually. “The lifting of the bans at mass gatherings such as festivals should take place at a later date,” he says.
► Agreement at EU level: The Brussels authority requires above all a coordinated approach by the Member States. “The timing and specific modalities for an exit strategy may differ between Member States, but it is imperative that there is a common approach and framework.”
► Important jobs first: “Not all the population should go back to work at the same time,” write experts from the EU Commission. Instead, it should be prioritized according to the economic importance of the respective activities and suitability for work from home.
Commissioners were originally supposed to approve the plan on Wednesday. The president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen (61), wanted to present it to the public. However, at the request of some member countries, it should only be submitted after Easter. National governments had asked the EU Commission to develop a roadmap to facilitate measures in Europe.
Ursula von der Leyen of Germany receives support for a common departure from the crown’s restrictions.
Lower Saxony Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) also expects the federal states to act in a unified way to relax the restrictions imposed by the Corona crisis. “I don’t want to guess, but at least it can’t be our goal,” Weil said at the ZDF’s “Morgenmagazin” when asked if different solutions could be devised, for example for school openings.
The SPD politician said there are very different situations in individual federal states, for example, in terms of the number of infections. However, it would be very useful for countries to “take the same step in the same direction, so that there is no confusion.”
Spahn is also studying relief for Germany
In light of early successes to curb the crown virus in Germany, Health Minister Jens Spahn is considering cautious steps to get out of the state-mandated suspension after the Easter holidays.
If the development of infection numbers continues, “we will be able to talk to the Prime Minister about a gradual return to normalcy after the Easter holidays,” the CDU politician told “Handelsblatt”.
In a free constitutional state, far-reaching restrictions on fundamental rights can only function as long as they are understood and accepted. Therefore, it is not only important to justify the action well, but also to show a perspective.
