The currently applicable corona containment measures are based on the current version of the Infection Protection Act, which applies until April 7th. The President of the German Hospital Society, Gerald Gaß, told the “Welt” that it was “not conveyable to the population” if the measures continued to apply until that date. “If science now says almost unanimously that the pandemic is over, the measures can no longer be maintained as mandatory measures,” he said.
The virologist Christian Drosten had previously told the “Tagesspiegel” that in his opinion the corona pandemic was going into an endemic situation. The intensive care physician Christian Karagiannidis made a similar statement in the editorial network Germany (RND). As a result, politicians from the FDP and Union in particular, including Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP), called for an end to the protective measures prescribed by the state.
