Pentecost is coming up, the summer vacation is near. Restaurants are allowed to open in Germany, under certain conditions, to pubs and Bars.
For the holiday time, many people hope for the greatest possible normality in the Corona of a pandemic. However, the Situation could flip, warn experts.
When many people meet each other, which normally have no contact with each other, should be afraid to pay a re-exponential growth of the Infection, says the doctor and health researcher, Max Geraedts, University of Marburg, the German press Agency dpa.
Currently, the infection would pay well. If people come back in many places closely together, it could yet be sufficient, “again a strong rise in the trail”.
Travel relaxations are in sight
The German tourism industry benefited from the loosening of the Corona-measures: Hotels and apartments may be re-receive guests – depending on the state, under the appropriate conditions, and to different points in time.
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) showed up to video conferencing with the neighboring and vacation countries of the Germans in the last week also confident that the worldwide travel warning to 14. June, at least for the European Union can be repealed.
But what are the risks of pay to travel with a view to the Infection? Lump this question cannot be answered, said Geraedts.
“If you walk around alone on the beach – no matter where in the world – that is, of course, no matter the you can do quietly,” he says. “But when they come together in the evening in a Bar with many people, it can be uncomfortable.”
Abroad, there is not in doubt, the same medical care
If you decide to travel abroad, must also be aware of the fact that he could not be expected in the case of an emergency, under certain circumstances, with the same medical care as in Germany, the researchers explained. “Where a bad health care is, it is dangerous – especially for people, the risk is already fraught.”
In such countries, it could bring as a traveler in addition, under certain circumstances, the native population is in danger, if they have already problems to adequate medical care: “If the need for treatment of foreigners come to this, is of course bad,” said Geraedts.
“At least ethically it’s at least once a concern, if you then with a more adventurous traveller consumes the few resources that are already there.”
Geraedts is reminiscent of the possibility that an Infected person when the trip is still completely healthy feel yet can be contagious: “The risk that you take, the Virus while traveling somewhere with the way, is always given.”
Tourists could spread the Corona-Virus everywhere
The upcoming holiday time, mountains also the risk that the Virus nationwide branching, explains Geraedts –so also of places, which have so far remained relatively spared. At the beginning of the year, many outbreaks had been locate yet quite clear to each of the places, for example, in the ski resort of Ischgl.
“Of course this is now a real Problem, because now we have all these individual cases, which are distributed over the whole of Germany,” he says. “If the drive is now all in holidays in Germany, in Europe and in the world, is of course the danger there is that you carry the Virus anywhere.”
Also Hajo Zeeb from the Leibniz-Institute for prevention research and epidemiology in Bremen, emphasized with a view to the infected people that show no or few symptoms of the disease: “If you consider that only a very small proportion of the population is likely to be immune, it is clear that the Virus can spread quickly even if the conditions are right for it.”
At the same time Zeeb points out that many people have now wore masks and physical distancing accustomed to.
And The Infection, and countries in the Mediterranean region were not only in Germany, but also in travel to decline. “So my fears are not too large, but there are some uncertainties.”
