Garg calls for vaccinations – not just against Corona
Immediately before the start of the autumn vacation in Schleswig-Holstein, Health Minister Heiner Garg called on unvaccinated people to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. “The Sars-CoV-2 virus is still present and there is still a high probability of coming into contact with the virus over the next few months,” said the FDP politician to the German press agency. All adults should have their own interest in vaccination protection. “Everyone who gets vaccinated helps us regain and keep our freedoms,” said Garg.
Schleswig-Holstein has the highest rate nationwide for the 12 to 17-year-olds who are particularly in focus and for the booster vaccinations for people who received the original vaccination protection at least six months ago Other transmissible pathogens are also being spread more than they were during a lockdown, “said Garg. According to the Standing Vaccination Commission, you can vaccinate against corona and flu at the same time. The pneumococcal vaccination, which is recommended for certain groups such as the elderly, should also be taken in order to prevent severe disease progression, said Garg.

Compulsory indoor testing for unvaccinated people in Schwerin
In Schwerin, unvaccinated people have again been obliged to test indoors – for example in restaurants, fitness studios or at the hairdresser’s. Children who are being looked after in a day-care center in the autumn break, which is now beginning, have to wear masks there. On Friday, Schwerin was classified as “yellow” on the risk-weighted level map for the third day in a row. Although the incidence of hospitalization is still very low, the incidence of new infections has recently risen sharply.
