Do students no longer have to wear protective masks in the new school year? At least that is the suggestion from CDU leader Armin Laschet. And he also gives hope to Bundesliga fans.
The Union’s candidate for chancellor, Armin Laschet, is for an end to the mask requirement in the new school year if the corona incidence values remain low.
“After the holidays we observe the situation of those returning from traveling, and if we can get a grip on the fact that the incidences are not particularly high, then you can take off the masks again in class,” said the NRW Prime Minister in the WDR. “The main goal must be: You mustn’t be the first to close the schools again.”
With stable incidences at the current level, he could also imagine a start of the next Bundesliga season with spectators similar to that of the European Championship, said the Prime Minister. In response to questions about a possible new wave of pandemics in the coming autumn, Laschet mainly referred to the ongoing vaccinations. If 80 percent of the population were vaccinated in autumn, the situation would be completely different from last year.
Laschet refused to extend the obligation to work from home, which ended on July 1. The companies would have to decide on this according to their respective needs. In view of the incidence values of 5 infected people per 100,000 people in seven days, the legislature should not centrally decree this. In many companies it is important that people meet at work.
Laschet called tax increases the “wrong means” and spoke out against a speed limit. “I do not consider driving faster on an empty motorway to be a legally required regulatory requirement.” He added: “When you see North Rhine-Westphalia: There aren’t that many roads where you can drive over 130 during the day.”
