The most plans Zastrow defective and he is afraid of devastating consequences. “The Opening of the Restaurants, only two States have taken into account the most dangerous and crucial transmission mechanisms* Bavaria* and Rhineland-Palatinate,” said Hygiene expert, in an interview with the Bild newspaper (article is behind the paywall). “This is a heavy, fire-dangerous failure of the other countries. The arrangements of Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein are a bad joke! ”

The main problem is, according to Zastrow, that terms such as “hygiene rules” are not so imprecise that the Gastro-industry did not know what to do exactly . The normal Hygiene – and-distance rules* do not reach out to the experts in restaurants. “Söder has it right: In Bavaria , the tableware , particularly glasses and Cutlery and everything must, what you put in the mouth, be cleaned up> after use as a disinfectant </strong. If this is not done, then we push us the virus directly into the mouth,“ said Zastrow. A distance is in comparison, of secondary importance and Wipe of the seat and floors, even meaningless. “But besabberte cups, glasses and Cutlery are a huge danger,” said Zastrow in an interview with the Bild newspaper.
