The crisis team reported on Tuesday on the status of corona vaccination in Lower Saxony. In addition, the country has adopted new disaster control measures to relieve vaccination centers.
To this end, the cabinet decided to establish an “extraordinary event of consequences at the national level” in accordance with paragraph 27a of the Lower Saxony Disaster Protection Law. This allows the deployment of municipal disaster control units under the central state administration. In addition, a special “Crown control” unit will be temporarily installed in the Ministry of Social Affairs.
