The seven-day incidence has risen to a maximum and calls for a tighter crown lock are getting stronger. Bavarian Prime Minister Söder expects a federal-state meeting before Christmas.
After the continued high number of infections, the crown measures are increasingly likely to tighten up before Christmas. “The current system is not enough,” Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder said in ARD morning magazine. “The numbers are stable, there are new infections every day, the number of deaths is increasing.”
Söder made it clear that he expected another meeting before Christmas. “We have to act, better as soon as possible.” More recently, the crown measures were extended until January 10. The next prime minister’s conference is scheduled for January 4.
The head of the Chancellery, Helge Braun, is also calling for a new meeting between Chancellor Angela Merkel and the 16 prime ministers before Christmas. “If we can unanimously decide the adjustment before Christmas, we will be there,” said the CDU politician of “Bild”. The restrictions adopted would have stopped the increase in the number of cases, but would not have reduced the number of new corona infections.
Seven-day incidence peaks
On Monday night, the Robert Koch Institute reported 12,332 new corona infections in 24 hours. A week ago, more than 1,000 fewer new infections were found. The numbers tend to be lower on Monday because there is less testing and less data is transmitted on the weekend. The so-called seven-day incidence rises to a maximum of 145.9. The value indicates how many people are infected in seven days for every 100,000 inhabitants. In this way, the value moves away again from the threshold of 50 set by the federal and state governments. The value in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein, which recently had declining numbers, has now risen above the value of 50.
“Every four minutes someone dies from a crown”
Politicians are particularly concerned about the death toll. “Every four minutes someone in Germany dies from Corona. We just can’t accept that,” Söder said. 147 people were reported to have died from or from the virus on Monday. The previous high was recorded with 487 deaths last Wednesday. Braun cautioned against getting used to such numbers. And Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn also said on RTL: “We are currently talking a lot about how we celebrate Christmas. These people will no longer celebrate Christmas.”
Measurements in Bavaria
The federal and state governments agreed in late November that ten people plus children would be admitted to family gatherings from December 23 to January 1. In Bavaria, the cabinet decided on Sunday to keep the planned easing from December 23-26 only. Baden-Württemberg already has a similar regulation. In Berlin, a maximum of five people is allowed during the entire holiday.
According to the federal-state decision, stricter measures will be taken if the incidence of more than 200 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week is reached. Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier urged the Berli ReportThere is a curfew for these cases. “Epidemiologically it is very clear: the best is a total blockade. The associated damage in the economy, in education and in various ways, nobody really wants that.”
For regional adjustment
The chairman of the city council, Burkhard Jung (SPD), also speaks in favor of regional tightening. “If an incidence of more than 200 or now in Saxony has reached a total of more than 300, then it is imperative to make a stronger blockade for a few more weeks,” Jung said im ARD morning magazine. Otherwise, the infection situation cannot be controlled. He questioned the relaxation announced during the holidays. “We will have to speak in Germany as a whole about whether the easing planned for Christmas and New Year’s Eve is really correct.”
Even the leader of the FDP Christian Lindner now does not want to rule anything out: “Either you have to decide: close everything, who knows how long. Or you can find a way to deal with the number of infections, but to limit hospitalization and even fatal courses. of illness. “
