Berlin (dpa) - In view of the debate about the easing of lockdowns, the industry association BDI warns of opening perspectives for the economy as well.

“Easing the corona restrictions only for vaccinated and convalescent people is not enough. For economic as well as psychological reasons, concrete opening perspectives are necessary, also for companies, in order to stimulate economic growth and to secure livelihoods, ”said BDI President Siegfried Russwurm to the editorial network Germany. "There is no alternative to a consistent opening strategy that includes the economy in its entirety." The federal government must think about restarting society and the economy together.

Russwurm also criticized the German government's announcement that it would not want to include company doctors in the vaccination campaign until the beginning of June.

“In many companies, the vaccination lines are ready for use.

Instead of using company doctors' vaccination potential across the board, the federal and state governments are wasting another month, ”said the BDI President.

As early as May, more than 12,000 company doctors could relieve resident doctors and vaccination centers by giving their 31 million employees low-threshold access to corona vaccinations.
