Until there is a vaccine, there can be no all-clear and no easing without simultaneous requirements such as a mask requirement.
Ulm (dpa) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder would advocate a general obligation to vaccinate against the corona virus in Germany.
"I would be very open to an obligation to vaccinate," said the CSU boss on Thursday after a meeting with Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) in Ulm. Until there is a vaccine, there can be no all-clear and therefore no loosening without simultaneous conditions such as a mask requirement.
Like Kretschmann, Söder also emphasized that the easing that other federal states are currently discussing or even implementing is out of the question for Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. "We are a community of the prudent," said Söder, referring to the cautious opening course of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU).
The "level-headed" are convinced that the danger from the corona virus remains. "Carelessness would be a bad advisor in this situation."
