Delivery of the Corona vaccine to the first federal states
The first German federal states have received a vaccine against the coronavirus. North Rhine-Westphalia was the first to receive a delivery: almost ten thousand doses of the Biontech and Pfizer product from production in Belgium. The vaccine has also reached Bavaria, Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt. Northern Germany is also supplied today. Today 27 locations across the country will be supplied. From there, funds are distributed to district centers and mobile teams. Vaccinations should start tomorrow. First of all, residents and staff of healthcare facilities, as well as hospital employees who are at particular risk, can be vaccinated.

229 new infections reported in Schleswig-Holstein
An additional 229 corona infections have been reported in Schleswig-Holstein. It was 508 on Saturday a week ago. The figures are hardly comparable, because fewer tests are likely to be done due to the holidays and many health authorities report new corona cases later than usual. The Schleswig-Holstein government put the incidence of seven days per 100,000 inhabitants at 92.6.

Corona outbreak at the Hamburg refugee reception center
There is a large corona outbreak at the central initial reception for refugees in Hamburg-Harburg, as reported by NDR 90.3. Many residents were transferred to another facility, including families with children. The people were taken to the central quarantine location in Rahlstedt on the fire brigade’s large capacity rescue bus. It is not known how many people were infected.

14,455 new corona infections reported nationwide
German health authorities reported a total of 14,455 new corona infections in 24 hours. In addition, another 240 deaths were recorded, as announced by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). However, the figures are only partially comparable with the values of the previous week. The RKI expected fewer tests and fewer reports from health authorities during the holidays. On Saturday a week ago, 31,300 new infections were reported. The seven-day incidence per 100,000 population is currently 170.7. On Tuesday, the highest value to date was reached at 197.6.

MV: Corona generates a record number of citizen complaints
Corona’s protection measures, partly controversial, in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have given state ombudsman Matthias Crone an entry record. It received more than 2,000 inquiries and complaints in the year that ended, about 13 percent more than the previous year. Almost 400 of the requests were related to crown restrictions. In the spring, foreigners were banned from using their own second home or gardens in the country. Some also would have wanted to take care of urgent visits or treatments. “Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania went its own way with its special restrictions, which were not always understandable to those affected. In some cases, legal adjustments were made and the state government acted on some points as well,” Crone said. As an example, he cited the visiting rules in effect for nursing home residents. The complete isolation of spring caused great emotional distress for many older people.

Bovenschulte: Corona has exacerbated social inequality
The mayor of Bremen, Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD), believes that after the end of the crown pandemic, a debate on the fair sharing of the burden is necessary. The issue will certainly also play a role in the election campaign for the fall federal elections, Bovenschulte said. “I hope that in the summer, through the combination of the season, vaccinations, improved contact tracking and protection mechanisms, the problem of the pandemic has been relativized at least to the extent that our daily life”. Then you have to talk about the economic and social consequences and how the burdens are distributed fairly. The crown crisis has exacerbated social inequality in Germany. “There are corporate sectors that have gone through the crisis brilliantly and there are others that have been severely affected.” This raises the question of whether it makes sense to treat all industries equally.

GEW demands alternative perspective and instruction
The Education and Science Union (GEW) insists on an early decision on how to proceed in schools starting January 10. He urged that as the pandemic progresses, more emphasis should be placed on alternating classes. It is foreseeable that the blocking measures will have to extend beyond the holidays, GEW chief Marlis Tepe told Germany’s publishing network. Therefore, teachers, students and parents need early information about what is coming. Tepe emphasized: “The social imperative to avoid contacts as much as possible must also be implemented in schools.”

The first vaccine arrives in the federal states
One day before the start of corona vaccination in Germany, the vaccine reaches the individual federal states today. The federal government has tens of thousands of cans of Biontech delivered to a total of 27 locations. From there they will be distributed to vaccination centers and mobile teams, which will then administer the first vaccines on Sunday. First, people over 80 years of age should be vaccinated, as well as nurses and hospital staff who are at particular risk. Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) will report on the vaccination campaign at 11 am at a press conference in Berlin. He has already prepared the population for possible initial problems: “At first it is going to shake up.” According to a YouGov poll, around two-thirds of Germans want to get vaccinated.
