The German Bundestag has established a COVID-19 Inquiry Commission to better prepare for future pandemics. The commission, consisting of 28 members, will be chaired by CDU MP Franziska Hoppermann.

The commission comprises 14 parliamentarians and 14 specialized experts from fields such as teaching, science, and medical professions. All Bundestag parties are represented, including the CDU, SPD, AfD, Greens, and the Left party.

The commission's task is to provide a comprehensive picture of the COVID-19 pandemic, its causes, course, and consequences, as well as to evaluate the state's measures. The commission will focus on evaluating the state's measures regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first meeting of the commission will take place in the afternoon on Monday. The commission will hold its meetings in the Bundestag.

The commission's work will extend over several years, with a final report expected by the end of June 2027. The commission will include both parliamentarians and experts as members, ensuring a balanced representation of scientific disciplines and social sectors.

The commission was set up by the parliament at the beginning of July. The committee holds mainly non-public sessions but can hold public expert hearings to involve citizens' perspectives. The goal of the commission is to be better prepared for future pandemics.
