The number of infections in Germany is constantly reaching new highs. Therefore, the leader of the Union parliamentary group, Brinkhaus, calls for a national line on the crown’s measures. The head of the chancellery, Braun, wants to mobilize more assistants.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has again reported a record number of new infections in Germany. Consequently, 7,830 new cases were reported. That’s about 500 more than yesterday and more than ever since the start of the pandemic. Last Saturday the value was 4721.
According to the RKI, the total number of registered infections amounted to 356,387. In addition, 33 other deaths were reported. This means that 9,767 people have died in Germany in connection with a corona infection.
Brinkhaus calls for a uniform approach
The union faction leader Ralph Brinkhaus called for a national line on measures against the growing number of corona infections. “Everything else is not only causing great irritation in the population at the moment, but hindering a coherent and joint approach by Corona,” the CDU politician wrote in a letter to CDU and CSU members in the German Press Agency in Berlin.
Also, Parliament should be more closely involved, Brinkhaus demanded. The Bundestag is “exactly the right place to publicly discuss measures to combat the pandemic and also to talk about the need for adjustments.” To strengthen the support of the population, greater transparency must be ensured, said the leader of the Union group.
Söder warns of loss of control during follow-ups
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder warned against contact tracking failure in light of the growing crown numbers. We are on the verge of a loss of control in some regions of Germany, “said the head of the CSU of Passauer Neue Presse. That was” very dangerous. “If the infections can no longer be traced, as in the Netherlands, France, Spain and the Czech Republic, you have to limit contacts in general, Söder explained. “That works only with a blockade or similar strict measures.”
The head of the chancellery, Helge Braun, announced that he would mobilize even more assistants to support the municipalities in following up the contacts. In addition to the Bundeswehr contingent of up to 15,000 soldiers, they are also looking to see if there are more personnel reserves in the federal government and subordinate authorities, the CDU politician told the Rheinische Post. He also hoped to attract a larger number of students to follow up on contacts.
