Covid-19: Lauterbach defends itself: Isolation not ended too early

Did the Federal Minister of Health violate the Corona rules? Karl Lauterbach defends himself against allegations.

Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach defends himself against the accusation that he ended his corona isolation too early.

Several politicians had raised this accusation after the Social Democrat said after his illness that he was not quite fit and was in the cabinet the day after. The background is the Berlin Corona rules, which stipulate 48 hours of freedom from symptoms before you can end the isolation.

But he no longer had any symptoms, no sore throat or headaches, but simply wasn’t fit yet, Lauterbach told the “Spiegel”. He had tested negative 48 hours before he ended the isolation – three times.

“It is quite right to be asked whether I have broken isolation rules, because whoever does that endangers those around him,” he explained. “We have to stick to the isolation rule,” said Lauterbach. Otherwise people with symptoms would go into the office and employers could put pressure on their employees accordingly. “We can’t want that.”
