For the first time in a good seven months, there is no night-time blocking on Mallorca. The Spanish Supreme Court lifted the ban on going out on the holiday island and on the other Balearic Islands, which was supposed to end on Sunday anyway. The “Tribunal Supremo” also overturned restrictions on private gatherings. Such rules are incompatible with the law and the threat situation is not appropriate, the court said on Thursday in Madrid. The left regional government of the Balearic Islands then stated in an initial reaction that the judgment was respected. However, it is recommended that all citizens of the Balearic Islands continue to observe the limitation of the number of participants at private meetings. “We only took these measures to save lives. And we think that they are proportionate, as the Higher Regional Court of the Balearic Islands recently found, “said government spokesman Iago Negueruela to journalists in Palma. After the end of the nationwide six-month corona emergency on May 9, which allowed such measures, the regional government of the Balearic Islands independently ordered, among other things, a night curfew and restrictions on meetings.

In the fight against the corona pandemic, the heads of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have called on the seven leading industrialized countries (G7) to deliver excess vaccines to developing countries as quickly as possible.

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach sees no need for another lockdown in Germany, even with possible new corona outbreaks in the future. “In principle, nothing stands in the way of a really good summer,” he told the news channel “Welt” on Thursday.

From June 7, young people can apply for a vaccination. In an interview, the health politician also regretted that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had become a “slow seller”. As with the Astra-Zeneca vector vaccine, sinus vein thrombosis has occurred in rare cases. However, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine only needs one dose for complete immunization, which is why, according to Lauterbach, it is in great demand in America.

Travelers from Japan will be able to enter the European Union more easily in the future. Due to improved corona numbers, the country was put on the list of third countries by the EU on Thursday for which strict entry restrictions should no longer apply. So far, only Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Israel and Thailand have been on the list. All other states have drastic restrictions that mean that most normal people from the country are banned from entering the country. The list is regularly revised. All EU countries except Ireland and the non-EU countries Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland had already agreed on the entry restrictions at the beginning of the corona pandemic. Accordingly, all non-essential trips to the EU are prohibited. However, the entry stop is not legally binding. There are also exceptions, for example, for EU citizens and their families.

The Swedish government has received severe criticism for its handling of the corona pandemic. The control committee of the Reichstag submitted a report on Thursday accusing the government of numerous shortcomings. Among other things, it is criticized that it has not adopted a strategy to combat the pandemic. In addition, the pandemic law, which gives the government more powers, was drafted too late. “The committee is of the opinion that the government’s handling of the pandemic was inadequate,” said chairwoman Karin Enström. Specifically, the control committee describes the inadequate measures to protect people in old people’s homes. In Sweden, a large number of elderly people died, especially at the beginning of the pandemic. As of Thursday, a total of 14,512 deaths linked to Covid-19 infection had been recorded, and the committee also concluded that an unclear division of responsibilities was preventing testing and infection tracking from getting under way quickly enough. In addition, the procurement of protective equipment was not good enough.

According to a media report, the UK wants to remove Portugal from the list of safe travel destinations that can be reached without subsequent quarantine. Also, no countries should be added to the safety list, as reported by the BBC.
The reason is therefore the concern about new, more easily transmissible variants of the corona virus. After more than four months of lockdown, Great Britain allowed travel again on May 17. Portugal has since proven to be a lifeline for troubled airlines and travel companies as this destination was again heavily booked.

One year after the agreement of the black-red coalition on an economic stimulus package worth billions, the German Trade Association (HDE) drew a critical balance. At the beginning of the corona crisis, the federal government “acted quickly and decisively”. “But we have to realize that with the aid in the second lockdown from December, a lot did not go smoothly,” HDE-General Manager Stefan Genth told the Handelsblatt. Larger trading companies have not yet received “sufficient economic aid” due to cap regulations at federal and EU level. In addition, owner-managed businesses still have no way of paying out an entrepreneur’s wages.
Genth also criticized the unequal treatment of November and December aid. The trading companies received nothing here, while the catering industry was compensated for a large part of its lost sales. “There have been incomprehensible unequal treatment in some places, which will now be processed legally in many cases.” The HDE managing director pointed out the serious consequences for the industry. “In total, the corona crisis could cost up to 120,000 stores to exist.”
At the same time, Genth warned politicians to simply tick off the problems of the retail trade in view of the opening steps. “The crisis will continue to have an effect for a long time.” For example, many traders would have used up their equity and financial reserves in the pandemic and could no longer invest in the future through no fault of their own. “A digitization fund is needed that provides 100 million euros to ensure that retailers who have been hit by the crisis do not lose touch,” said Genth. In addition, politicians must “intensely” take care of the inner cities. “An inner city fund of 500 million euros is needed here in order to preserve the total work of art in the lively city centers.”

Spain’s Supreme Court has declared curfews and restrictions on gatherings in the Balearic Islands to be incompatible with the law. The measures to combat corona are not appropriate to the threat situation, reported the newspaper “El País” and the Europa Press news agency on Thursday, citing the court.
The judgment itself was initially not available. The judges had emphasized that selective restrictions on individual rights to fight a pandemic are permissible, but not generally for the entire population.

According to a preliminary Charité evaluation, first Astrazeneca and, as a second dose, Biontech / Pfizer have no disadvantages in terms of effectiveness and tolerability for vaccinated people. According to the study, a combination of the preparations at an interval of ten to twelve weeks is well tolerated and evokes immune responses comparable to that of a series of vaccinations with two Biontech, wrote Charité scientist Leif Erik Sander on Twitter.

The classification of Great Britain as a virus variant area is unlikely to change for the time being. The number of new corona infections in the United Kingdom is comparatively low, said Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn on Thursday in Oxford. But the so-called delta variant, which was first discovered in India, has “taken on the dominant role” with a very high proportion of almost 80 percent of the infection rate. But it is important that a large part of the population in Germany is vaccinated before possible variants spread in the country, stressed Spahn. Only German citizens and people residing in Germany are allowed to enter the Federal Republic from virus variant areas. Everyone has to be in quarantine for 14 days, nobody can get rid of it with a negative corona test. In return, travelers from Germany in Great Britain have to do ten days in self-isolation and during that time two corona tests at their own expense. He knows that the situation is difficult, said Spahn. “It’s tough for families, it’s tough for business travelers. It is tough for many friends and partners in the UK and Germany who want to visit and see each other, ”said the Minister. But as long as the variant is so widespread in Great Britain, “unfortunately we still need appropriate quarantine and test regulations”.
