what is it we're trying to achieve we want to bring down the numbers in germany we want our health authorities to regain control over the chains of transmission and then we want to reopen. that is exactly what made us successful last year. after the lock down we had incidence rates of 2345 a lot of people forget that now and there are people who are saying they can't believe it's possible to get the infection rate below 50 i believe it is possible. i believe that with the measures we're now taking we can do it and then we will need to defend that success we need to make sure that it can be sustained that in conjunction with the effective spring in the vaccine this allows us to return to normality and that we don't face renewed problems especially through a highly infectious virus mutation that is even harder to control i believe we all want to avoid that and that's why stricter immigration measures when a neighboring region has become a host a mutation simply can't be avoided by now the united states has been following a america 1st policy also when it comes to vaccinations that goes back to a
