“The fact is, we have to do something now,” the Charité scientist said in the “Coronavirus Update” on Tuesday on NDR-Info.
The holiday season is very likely to cause an increase in the number of cases. If there is no readjustment now, a blockade threatens “at the end of January and beyond all of February” with massive consequences for the economy.
Drosten is one of the experts who contributed to a statement released Tuesday by the Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences. It is recommended to use holidays and the change of year for a “total lockdown”. From December 24 to at least January 10, “public life throughout Germany was to be practically inactive.”
Already from December 14, contacts should be reduced to an “absolute minimum”. The virologist said that perhaps the article should be understood as a “clear and final warning of science.” If politicians decide otherwise, they will no longer have chosen science.
