THE Germany will no longer carry out sanitary confinements or close schoolsEven if the Covid-19 cases increase to numbers identical to those recorded last year, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz guarantees.
Schools should not be closed again, and I think successive lockdowns like the ones we have had in recent years will not be necessary either,” said Olaf Scholz.
At the end of May, Germany registered an average of 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, but this proportion has been worsening at a average of 700 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants last week.
The head of state says that the vaccines should help limit the measures that will be necessary to contain the spread of the virus. However, he said he believed that “it can be expected that Masks play an important role again in autumn and winter,” he says in an interview with ARD, quoted by Reuters.
Scholz, who has never been infected with Covid-19, appealed to all people over 60 years of age to try to get vaccinated with the fourth dose of the vaccine, in order to prevent the symptoms and consequences of contracting the virus.
The fact that I have been vaccinated four times is perhaps the reason why I have never been infected,” he said.
The German government began to lift the restrictive measures in March this year. In April, the Germans abandoned the mandatory mask inside public establishments.
