Coronavirus: Doctors insist on additional precautions for health crises

Doctors President Klaus Reinhardt, penetrates in the light of the Corona pandemic to further improvements in the crisis mechanisms.

“We must now make use of the time, so we flare of the Corona for a possible Re-infections and for future epidemics well-equipped,” said the head of the Federal chamber of physicians of the German press Agency.

The crisis has shown that closer European networking and coordination are needed. This applies to reporting structures, technical platforms of Corona Apps, stockpiles of protective equipment and the development of drugs and vaccines.

“In Germany, the policy has made a lot of things right,” said Reinhardt. “Nevertheless, we must also reform structures.” The responsibilities of the Federal government and the States in times of crisis are clear rules.

“We need a networked System of crisis staffs, that is permanently on Standby.”

To hold, moreover, that the Federal government, the Länder, local authorities and public institutions pandemic updated and an Exercise for the sniper switched plans on a regular basis.

Relaxations only under your own responsibility is possible

Reinhardt was in favour of further loosening of Corona limitations, the effects of which are observed very closely.

Even after the previous opening steps of the infection from happening, fortunately, still at a low level.

“It is necessary, therefore, and also from the point of view of the infection protection is quite justifiable to consider the lifting of other restrictions.”

With a view to further relaxations in Thuringia, Reinhardt said, the country is set to more self-responsibility of citizens.

“This is not per se wrong, however, the newly created possibilities for large-scale events such as folk celebrations and Festivals to go to me rather too far.”

In Thuringia, contact restrictions are lifted since Saturday. It is only recommended to meet with a household or a maximum of ten people.

Folk feasts and Festivals should be allowed in individual cases.

“We need to make sure that there are no uncontrolled dynamics,” said Reinhardt. It is important that the Länder and local authorities could respond quickly.

“We need precise mitigation measures, so that we don’t have to put in a possible flare-up of an entire country or entire regions to a standstill.”

Risk of larger numbers of people

In the case of large-scale events, one must be more cautious, said the doctors President. This must now be definitely, even if it is for organizers, of course, bitter.

“We should wait until there is a vaccine or at least a good therapy in severe cases. It is exactly such events, which are fast a few of the very many people that are Infected can infect.”

With a view to the schools Reinhardt spoke of a difficult question. “It is not very easy, in the normal school distance and hygiene rules of operation to maintain, especially for smaller children in any Form.”

On the other hand, the children went for months not regularly to school. Homeschooling could replace, especially the interaction with peers.

“It’s about educational opportunities and life of children cannot be remedied easily or to catch up on.”

In the balancing he was, therefore, to have a bit more courage. “We should try to come back after the summer holidays, as well as possible regelhaftem teaching.”

For that pragmatic solutions should be sought. So teachers, who are among risk groups could Supplement the classroom teaching through the use of digital offers.

Corona-the danger remains

In the face of fears of a new rise of infections of the doctors, the President said: “I am hesitant to talk about a second wave, because it scared a lot of people even more. That sounds like a Tsunami after a wave, you go under you can.”

Also, with a view to the autumn and Winter, it is likely that the infection fluctuations happen.

“If we comply with the distance and hygiene rules well it can work, but to prevent a large flare-up. Sure no one knows this but, to the extent that caution remains appropriate.”

Although it could happen, that some would in everyday life negligent. “It is human, that the discipline no longer wears off a bit when the danger is so obvious.”

It is however still important to give, for example, the hands, but to take advantage of the Corona-greeting with your elbow.

“Also here you can watch nice face and a friendly good day.”

These protective measures are at the present time, unchanged and right and important, said Reinhardt. “It should remind all of you, and maybe even a bit benevolent exhort.”
