Note: This post will be sent to you with no narration. O-TON KARL LAUTERBACH (SPD), FEDERAL MINISTER OF HEALTH “My way in the direction of protecting the necessary is that we don’t really have to fight with such variants in the fall. Is the vaccination obligation first of all.” “I warn once morest underestimating Omikron. So even if Omikron brought only half as many hospitalizations and, for example, a quarter as many intensive patients compared to the Delta variant, these are study results from California from Berkeley University that point in this directionm, then it would still mean for Germany that as the wave unfolds, we have to expect another massive strain on the intensive capacities and also on hospitals in general, but also on the critical infrastructure. Nobody can underestimate that, nobody wants to underestimate that. And be over it we also exchanged ideas today. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the exchange.” O-TON MANUELA SCHWESIG (SPD), PRIME MINISTER MECKLENBURG-VORPOMMERN “Coping with the pandemic, having Corona under control and, above all, protecting human life remains the be-all and end-all. But a Federal Minister of Health cannot do this alone. That is above all whether we can hold on, whether all citizens continue to follow the rules and make use of the vaccine offer. It is now important not to give up following two years of the pandemic, but to persevere and then come out of this pandemic together.”
The Federal Minister of Health spoke to Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig during a visit to Schwerin. She called on the citizens once more to make use of the vaccination offer.
