Pandemic: FDP parliamentary group leader: lift corona isolation rules  STERN.de

The new Corona guidelines stipulate that the prescribed isolation can end after just five days. FDP faction leader Dürr thinks that one should rely on personal responsibility with regard to this.

FDP parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr calls for the rules on the isolation of corona infected people to be lifted. Germany should follow the example of Great Britain, where those who tested positive no longer had to go into forced isolation, Dürr told the editorial network Germany (RND).

“Anyone who tests positive but is symptom-free should be allowed to leave the house with a mask and distance,” he said. “I am firmly convinced that people can make their own decisions on this question. Government regulation is no longer needed for this,” added Dürr.

The new guidelines published by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Monday evening stipulate that the prescribed isolation for people infected with corona can usually end after five days. At the end, however, a negative test is “strongly recommended”. The specific implementation is up to the federal states.

Meanwhile, the burden on clinics from the corona pandemic has decreased. “The situation in the hospitals is relaxing,” said the CEO of the German Hospital Society, Gerald Gass, the RND. With 1,300 Covid patients in intensive care units, there are fewer than they have been since September 2021. Clinics could now successively catch up on previously postponed services.
