Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - Karlsruhe's Lord Mayor Frank Mentrup does not consider a closure of daycare centers and primary schools beyond January to be justifiable.

In the “Badische Neuesten Nachrichten” the SPD politician said on Thursday: “The undesirable developments this brings for children are no longer in relation to the risk of infection.

But we still have to protect teachers and educators better, for example with FFP2 masks.

Elementary school children can also wear masks, and they often even have fun with it.

In the case of educators and teachers, one could also think about rapid tests or at least consider those with risk factors in the second wave of vaccinations. "

Mentrup pleaded for binding improvements to be promised in the foreseeable future and then also to be implemented where the benefits of opening up would soon be greater than the damage that would increasingly arise.

"Where restrictions are well accepted and infectiously beneficial, the adjusting screw could be turned even further, for example I could imagine bringing the curfew in the evening towards 6 or 7 p.m."
