According to a media report, Berlin's medical officers unanimously demand that loosening no longer be linked to general incidence values.
It is “not expedient to couple containment measures to incidences of 20/35/50”, according to the “Tagesspiegel” (Monday) in a statement from all twelve medical officers.
Instead, the doctors propose "intensive measures of infection prevention" for the elderly and the sick and at the same time a moderation of the measures for other groups such as school children.
The paper was sent to the Senate Chancellery as a statement at the weekend.
"These incidences do not reflect the real infection process," write the medical officers.
The incidences depend on testing capacities and people's willingness to test.
"This leads to fluctuations that do not reflect the infectious situation," the paper quotes the doctors.
It makes a difference whether incidences are due to cluster outbreaks or widespread contamination and also which age groups are infected.
An incidence analysis based on age groups is necessary as an "early warning system".
According to the “Tagesspiegel”, there was a “big difference” between the group of medical officers, whether there is a seven-day incidence of 50, all infected children and people over 80 who are symptom-free have already been vaccinated, or whether the incidence is 50 especially risk groups are affected.
Then you have to align the political measures.
