It was now better to set evaluation standards, figures with “traffic lights from green to red”, and then each country had to decide for itself. "That would be the more efficient process than deciding the smallest questions every week, which then overtook two days later."

Söder had previously said that he was "a little unhappy" that some countries were already going beyond what was agreed between the federal government and the states last week. Saxony-Anhalt in particular had caused a sensation. There, a new regulation came into force on Monday, according to which five people can now stay outside of their own household.

"No criticism of Saxony-Anhalt," Söder later emphasized. But of course that means that one has to think again about how to set “the bandwidths” in Germany. “Prime ministerial conferences make little sense if we correct ourselves every hour.” Bavaria will continue to take a more cautious approach.
