Saarbrücken (dpa / lrs) - The Saarbrücken pharmacy professor Thorsten Lehr is skeptical of the opening model launched in Saarland on Tuesday.
"The concept is basically good and should also work in theory," said the expert for corona forecasts from the German Press Agency in Saarbrücken.
“In my opinion, it has not yet worked well in practice.
Above all, and that is the problem, because there is currently a relatively high incidence and an increasing number of infections. "
In this combination, the so-called Saarland model is “not the right solution”.
The best thing for such a project is a constant incidence, Lehr said.
"Otherwise it could be unclear whether an increasing incidence is caused by the model project or by a general infection process."
Lehr cited an incidence of “around 50” as the “generally best value” for such a model.
In Saarland, the seven-day incidence, i.e. the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week, was around 91 on Easter Monday.
He considers the basic idea of a lockdown to be “right and good,” said Lehr.
“I don't think easing the situation is right at the moment.
We have to get the number of cases under control first. "
