Because of the Corona rules at Christmas, there is a risk of a dispute between Angela Merkel and the countries.
Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein want to allow hotel stays.
There are discussions
about Corona at
Christmas
.
The reason are the
rules
- even on
New Year's Eve
.
Meanwhile, the number of
new infections
continues to
rise
.
Berlin - The
Corona rules
are to be
relaxed
at
Christmas
- but now planned
hotel stays are causing
discussions.
The heads of government of Berlin, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia are in favor of allowing precisely that.
Also
Lower Saxony
and
Schleswig-Holstein
will follow suit now.
This practice is in contrast to
Angela Merkel's
opinion, which was also
communicated
by Chancellery Minister Helge Braun
(CDU)
.
The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported on this.

Corona rules at Christmas: Some countries want to allow hotel stays
“You can't control that.
And tourist trips are not allowed under any circumstances, ”said Braun.
Lower Saxony's
government spokeswoman Anke Pörksen told the "dpa" on Friday that it would be possible for relatives and close friends to visit
the hotel at
Christmas
.
Even in times of
Corona
.
Visiting relatives is not a tourist overnight stay.
It
could look different
on
New Year's Eve
- Poerksen gives a view.
"I assume that this regulation will also apply on New Year's Eve," said the government spokeswoman.
The new
Corona regulation
is still in the final vote.
(1) If it continued with a very slow decrease in cases, we would probably have to expect an increase after the New Year.
About 12,000 people would die in the next 8 weeks.
Plus at least 100,000 long-term courses.
Any easing remained impossible.
What would be alternatives?
