Patient protection: infected nurses shouldn’t work
Patient advocates object to the fact that nurses and geriatric nurses who tested positive for the coronavirus still have to work if necessary. The council of the German Foundation for Patient Protection, Eugen Brysch, spoke on NDR Info of a very bad concept. The fact that Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) is now thinking about it is not understandable after nine months of the Corona crisis. He called for the widespread use of rapid tests for employees in the health and care sector.

Barge operators complain of heavy losses
The corona pandemic hit barge operators hard in the port of Hamburg. “The Corona crisis with the second ban on guest travel has brought heavy losses to the entire industry,” said Knut Heykena, managing director of the Hamburg Port Transport Association, at the request of the German Press Agency. “Not only did major sales drivers like Easter or the port’s birthday fail, demand was also low after the gradual relaxation of regulations in the summer.” Launch companies are now worried about winter, as hardly any money has been saved in recent weeks and months, as Jan Ehlers of the Ehlers launch center said. Competing firm Barkassen-Meyer expects sales to drop by as much as 70 percent by 2020.

Health authorities have much less time for other things
Tracking contacts, taking smears, monitoring quarantine: Northern health authorities have more than enough to do in the corona pandemic, they are working beyond their limits of capacity. This has consequences for other office tasks, such as school entrance exams. This was the result of a survey conducted by the German Press Agency among the health authorities of Schleswig-Holstein. In many districts and cities, children who are likely to have special needs are assessed as a priority. It is said that as many first graders as possible should be tested.

Lower Saxony State Council of Parents criticizes health protection in schools
There are still criticisms of the Lower Saxony school concept in the Corona crisis. “So far, the lowest possible health protection has been applied in school. That is incomprehensible,” said State Parent Council President Cindy-Patricia Heine. For added protection, ask for Plexiglas walls to be installed so that masks can be dispensed with in class. With overloaded health authorities, health protection cannot currently be guaranteed. In addition to the situation in the schools themselves, Heine also criticizes the local public transport and school bus transport. The distance rules could not be observed there.

If it’s Christmas parties, then more digitally
Due to the corona pandemic, many companies canceled their Christmas parties as in-person events weeks ago or moved them virtually to the Internet. Restaurants and pubs are often the victims. “The classic month for Christmas celebrations is actually December,” said the president of the regional association Dehoga in Bremen, Detlef Pauls. He has little hope that things will start over. Big companies like VW had already made it clear in late September that the present Christmas holidays would not be approved due to the corona pandemic. At the energy company EWE, the solution is: Virtual Christmas parties.

Demonstration and counterrevolutionary “Querdenker” in Aurich today
In Aurich, East Frisia, advocates and opponents of measures to contain the corona pandemic want to take to the streets today. Police are on site to secure and monitor events, according to a police spokeswoman. According to media reports, up to 500 participants are expected. According to their own statements, the participants of the “lateral thinking” alliance want to meet in front of the Aurich Sparkassen-Arena around 2 pm and then move around the city. According to the police, a similar demonstration in October was peaceful. However, officials would intervene if protesters violated applicable requirements. The association “Aurich shows his face” has called a meeting in the market square from 2.30 pm. With colored ribbons as the distance requirement and a multitude of colored masks, it should be clear that a life in the days of Corona is possible despite the cuts, organizers announced.

RKI: 22,461 new corona cases in Germany

The number of deaths related to the virus rose 178 to a total of 12,378. According to RKI’s situation report yesterday evening, the so-called seven-day R was 0.99 (previous day: 0.93).

If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
