For this reason, some changes in daily life, such as maintaining safety distances, the use of the face mask, the ventilation of the rooms, and hygiene measures will remain. "In the treatment of Covid-19, we need regional and time-limited containment measures adapted to the risk," said RKI president Lothar Wieler, underlining that the danger of an overload of the health system remains.
