Berlin Health Minister Jens Spahn takes a close look at the development of the pandemic before Christmas. If there is no improvement, he considers stricter contact restrictions to be necessary.
“The approach, ‘short and comprehensive, to really make a difference’ is probably the more successful,” said Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) on Monday the television station Phoenix. “If we can’t get there with the development of the next one or two weeks until Christmas, then we have to discuss it.” Stricter measures for a shorter period of time would also be understood by the citizens “as a sideways movement in the number of infections with an incredible amount of fatigue”.

The minister did not rule out the possibility of another lockdown in retail. “We have to make that dependent on the next few days, whether we can bring the numbers down.” In the future, the federal states would continue to pursue individual concepts, which he thinks is right due to the different incidence figures. “We have to take different measures in Saxony than in Schleswig-Holstein if the whole thing is to retain acceptance.”
