Corona pandemic has shown communication gaps | Luxembourg word

Even if Paulette Lenert was not easy to effectively communicate the importance of vaccinations against the Covid 19 virus, the former Minister of Health and Social Security underlines that the effects of the virus were not known, especially at the beginning of the pandemic.

The first vaccinations were still a relief at the time. Since protection did not come into play for everyone, it would have been important to better communicate further measures. An appeal to solidarity could have caused more understanding, especially after the first privation. As a result, the fear of uncertainty and trust in the people acting was lost, the German virologist, Christian Drosten, confirms in a record on radio 100.7.

It is now important to enact a law in international cooperation that includes the teachings from pandemic. It must be proven argumentatively which measures are necessary for what reason.

Large scale testing effectively, but legally questionable

The LSAP politician left the question of whether the « Large Scale Testing » is one of the measures that the majority felt positively. On the one hand, the introduction was very effective and contributed to the containment of the virus. On the other hand, Paulette Lenert admits that the decision at that time was covered.

The large -scale tests are also controversial among scientists. In principle, the politician demands that you derive from an international comparison what good and what did not work well so that Luxembourg is prepared for the next pandemic.

The Health Minister of CSV, Martine Drez, emphasizes that a draft law is currently being worked out to regulate the procedure in pandemic times. Finally, Paulette Lenert confirms that even a provisional from day one would have been helpful to save time during the organization. In the event of a future pandemic, it should not be started again.
