NoCovid Initiative: Prof. Heidbreder supported the NoCovid Initiative as a supporting consultant

The framework paper "A new proactive goal for Germany to combat SARS-CoV-2" of January 18, 2021 sets out the general principles of the no-COVID strategy. Mrs. Prof. Dr. Heidbreder supported the NoCovid Initiative strategy as an expert on European politics. 

The strategy includes a departure from the containment strategy (“living with the virus”) pursued to date. The authors propose ideas and approaches for a proactive local elimination strategy that pursues the goal of a sustainably low incidence - ideally zero.
