MP criticizes “snail pace” in cultural aid

In Lower Saxony and Bremen, as of December 31, 2020, less than a third of the applications from the Corona aid program “Neustart Kultur” had been approved. Of the 1,622 applications submitted in Lower Saxony, 494 were approved; in Bremen there were 451 submitted and 156 approved applications. This emerges from a list of the Federal Commissioners for Culture and Media, to which the Lower Saxony member of the Bundestag Victor Perli (left) referred. “The federal government’s cultural aid is only flowing at a snail’s pace,” says Perli. The program launched in mid-July 2020 “Restart culture“In its first edition provides aid of one billion euros and is intended to secure Germany’s cultural infrastructure in the face of the Corona crisis. The program has now been topped up by a further billion euros.

Spahn answers the questions of the MPs today

Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn will answer questions from members of the Bundestag at noon. The CDU politician is criticized for delays in the quick tests for everyone and for the slow start of the corona vaccinations. The Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) advocates not adhering to the order of corona vaccinations too rigidly. In all vaccination centers there should be lists for “whose turn it is when there are doses left over,” said Stiko boss Thomas Mertens to the newspapers of the Funke media group. So that no vaccine is discarded, “suitable candidates from the following priority groups” could be preferred.

RKI: 8,007 new corona cases confirmed nationwide

The health authorities reported 8,007 new corona infections to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) within one day – that’s a good 450 more than a week ago (7,556). In addition, 422 other deaths were recorded. The total number of people who died with or with the involvement of a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 68,740. According to the RKI, the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) is 59.3 nationwide – and thus lower than the day before (60.5). The nationwide seven-day R-value was 0.98 (previous day: 1.05) according to the RKI management report from yesterday evening. This means that 100 infected people infect 98 more people. The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago. If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.

Before the MV summit: Schwesig urges caution

Before today’s MV summit with representatives from business, municipalities and social associations, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) continued to urge caution in the pandemic. “I understand the desire for further opening steps. Unfortunately, the figures show that we are not over the mountain yet.” From 1 p.m., the digital summit will be about a step-by-step plan of how openings for corona new infections of less than 35 per 100,000 inhabitants could look in seven days, Schwesig said. She wants to take the plan with her to the next federal-state meeting on March 3rd. Entrepreneurs expect horticultural markets, zoos and animal parks to open on March 1st – as planned in Schleswig-Holstein. After falling numbers, the number of new infections in the northeast has not fallen recently.

Teachers at daycare centers can now be vaccinated against Corona. Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) tweeted this yesterday. He expects “additional security” in an environment in which distance and mask are not always possible. Elementary schools and daycare centers in ten federal states have partially reopened since Monday. For these vaccinations, hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses from the manufacturer AstraZeneca, which have previously been unused in the countries, will probably be considered.

MV: Start of school today up to grade six in three regions

In the districts of Rostock and Vorpommern-Rügen as well as in the city of Rostock, children from grades one to six are going to school again regularly from today. There the corona incidence value is below 50. In all other regions of the country and for older children from grade seven, distance lessons are initially carried out at home. The final classes, however, are offered face-to-face tuition nationwide in order to prepare the students as best as possible for the upcoming exams. In the three regions with fewer than 50 corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days, participation is mandatory. For students from grade seven, the new plan provides for the earliest possible return to face-to-face teaching from March 8th. Even then, classroom teaching is only possible with a stable incidence of less than 50. Stable means for at least ten days.
