Aschenberg-Dugnus emphasized that the changes in the law would not abolish all measures. The protection of vulnerable groups is implemented appropriately and in a targeted manner. She emphasized as positive that children in schools, for example, were no longer forced to wear masks. When asked what she would answer to seriously ill people who were worried about the end of the mask requirement in supermarkets, she pointed out that FFP2 masks could continue to be worn. This is completely sufficient to move in public life, she said.
The FDP MP Lukas Köhler also explained that on the one hand there should be further protection. “But we’re making sure that we get back to normal as far as possible.” According to Köhler, new tightening could soon be decided if necessary. “We can also decide more about the summer.”
