The Hamburg drag queen Olivia Jones (51) hopes that the politicians will soon take a step towards the restaurateurs with a view to the corona-related restrictions. “I would like politics to be a little bolder now, to try more things and not just forbid them,” said the native of Lower Saxony to the German Press Agency in Hamburg. "What I definitely demand is that the outdoor catering is opened from May or June and that something like city tours with conditions be made possible again."
She does not understand that there is still hesitation, although several renowned aerosol researchers have said that it is seldom possible to get infected outside.
“There are so many livelihoods at stake.
Politicians must also remember that we are responsible citizens and already know where to get infected. "Jones added:" The less we do outside, the more takes place behind closed doors, where the risk of infection has been shown to be highest is. "
