Despite the increasing number of new infections, the president of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Lothar Wieler, is currently calm about the situation in Germany. “At the moment, everything seems to be under control,” Wieler said. However, the situation could change at any moment and the number of cases could increase exponentially, he emphasized, referring to developments in Israel, Spain and France.
Wieler called on people to adhere to the rules on distance, hygiene and the use of masks and to ventilate the rooms. “If everyone does that, then I am convinced that we can survive well.” The RKI boss doesn’t necessarily expect a second lockdown. “If we stay serious, mindful, then that can be avoided in my opinion.”
At this time, people in Germany are mainly infected in their private sphere, “that is, at parties, wedding celebrations, funerals and also at religious services. On the other hand, there are not many infections in stores and companies, with some spectacular exceptions. “Most companies seem to be handling the pandemic well.”
