Berlin – The chairman of the Bundestag health committee, Erwin Rüddel (CDU), expects the end of the crown restrictions from next spring. “I expect complete normality from March 2022,” Rüddel told the newspapers of the Publishing network Germany (RND, today’s issues). “Until then, the unvaccinated have to weigh what is important to them,” he stressed.
A kind of “Freedom Day” based on the British model, as the director of compulsory medical insurance doctors Andreas Gassen (KBV) had proposed for October 30, the CDU politician spoke out against it. “I don’t think the proposal is useful in the current situation, shortly before a possible fourth wave,” Rüddel said.
As soon as children from the age of five received a vaccination offer, Germany would have to go back to normal. “Until then, I am convinced that the 2G option model is the right way to spend the fall and winter in combination with the hospitalization rate as a leading indicator without any further restrictions,” he said. RND. This would mean that the vaccinated, who had made their contribution to solidarity, would largely regain their freedom.
The demand for an end date for all crown protection measures, a so-called “Freedom Day,” had previously received wide pushback in Germany. In addition to the federal government, the Association of German Teachers and the Professional Association of Nursing Professions against such deadline regulation.
“The vaccination rate is too low to eliminate measures such as the indoor mask requirement,” said the president of the Marburg Bunds, Susanne John, dem RND.
Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) also does not believe in considering a so-called Freedom Day to end crown restrictions. “Anyone asking for a ‘Freedom Day’ has not understood the gravity of the situation,” he said.
