In response to the publication of the entire, unredacted protocols of the RKI crisis team on the Corona pandemic, Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announced on X: "The RKI had planned anyway, with my consent, to publish the RKI files of the Corona crisis team. Now it is happening without the rights of third parties, including employees, having been protected beforehand. Nevertheless, there is nothing to hide."
The Robert Koch Institute informs on its website that since 23.07.2024, "the allegedly 'complete data set of all meeting minutes of the RKI crisis team from 2020 to 2023, unredacted' has been offered for download by an external body". The RKI had "neither checked nor verified" the data records.
The RKI continues: "Insofar as personal data and trade and trade secrets of third parties are illegally published in these data sets and, in particular, the rights of third parties are violated, the RKI expressly disapproves of this." THE RKI wants to "continue" to publish the minutes "from May 2021 to July 2023, the end of the crisis team meetings, as soon as possible after appropriate examination and third-party participation". The RKI also wants to make these available "as far as possible without redactions, insofar as this is permissible under the IFG, taking into account the legal rights of all parties involved". According to the RKI, "the prescribed third-party participations are currently underway". The RKI on the background: "On 30.05.2024, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) made the minutes of its COVID-19 crisis team from January 2020 to April 2021 available on the website largely unredacted. In this published version, only personal data according to § 5 of the Freedom of Information Act (IFG) and trade and business secrets of third parties according to § 6 IFG are blacked out. Prior to this, the minutes were reviewed again to determine which compelling reasons for exclusion under the IFG existed, and third-party participation procedures were also carried out in this context."Journalist Aya Velazquez published the documents online and presented them at a press conference in Berlin on Tuesday. According to dpa, the journalist called for an "uncompromising and honest reappraisal" of Corona policy in Germany. The redacted protocols should contribute to this.

In May, the RKI had already published the protocols for the period January 2020 to April 2021 largely without redactions. Certain personal data as well as trade and business secrets of third parties remained blacked out. According to dpa, the trigger was a "prior publication of the protocols by the online magazine Multipolar".
