The COVID-19 Challenge in Germany
What we know today:
Infectious virus protection methods follow AHA-rules(AHA means- Abstand (distance: 1,5 meters),- Hygiene (hygiene),- Alltagsmaske (mask, mouth and nose protection)
State of Analysis(Based on statements Federal Ministry of Health, 09.10.2020)
Problems- Ignorance of AHA-rules- crowded events- family celebrations- celebrating parties

No Problems- Respecting AHA-rules- shopping- public transportation- lunching and dining

What should we learn?
- Infection protection, testing- Infection identification, tracking and (back-)tracing- Encapsulation, Prevention
