The corona measures in Baden-Württemberg are becoming stricter.
But a lot is still allowed.
Winfried Kretschmann nevertheless urges people to do without.
Stuttgart - The
measures
against the corona virus in Baden-Württemberg (BW24 * reported) are still not achieving the desired effect.
The number of
new infections
is increasing
across the country
.
The Esslingen district was the first to trigger a corona alarm. * Shortly afterwards, the
state capital followed
suit.
Since then, Stuttgart has also been considered a risk area. *
According to the
State Health Office
, 15
districts
in
Baden-Württemberg
now exceed
the
7-day incidence
of 50
new infections
.
In Baden-Württemberg, the highest warning level with new restrictions applies. * This includes a general
mask requirement
in public spaces and the restriction of
gatherings
to ten people.
In addition, there is a curfew in Stuttgart and alcohol is not allowed anywhere in the city. *
In view of the threatening situation, Winfried Kretschmann has already issued a lockdown ultimatum. * If the
measures
do not work within ten days, another
lockdown will
follow
.
Kretschmann had already exposed egoists in mid-October because of the corona alarm in Stuttgart. * Now he renewed his appeal and urged citizens in the southwest
to avoid
contacts
.
Winfried Kretschmann warns citizens to be reasonable in the face of increasing corona infections
In mid-October, Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann * had already addressed warning words to the population.
“I expect the citizens to stop doing everything they are allowed to do out of a sense of responsibility,” said
Winfried Kretschmann

The
Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg
particularly urged young people
to show more solidarity.
“I can understand why the boys would like to celebrate.
But now they have to show solidarity with the old, just as the old have to show solidarity with the young in the fight against climate change, ”said

Winfried Kretschmann has
now
renewed this warning
- and warned of dramatic consequences.
The citizens must now be disciplined, otherwise one would have to
fall
back
on a
lockdown
with enormous collateral damage, warned the
Prime Minister
.
There are not many things left in the quiver until this big measure, he said with a view to
restrictions

No contact due to coronavirus: Winfried Kretschmann extends restrictions on funerals
Winfried Kretschmann
received support in his demands
from
Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Health, Manne Lucha
.
"We win the game and flatten the curve by reducing our overall social
contact,
" he said.
In addition to the
measures
already taken
against the
corona virus in Baden-Württemberg
, the
state government
limited
the number of participants for
funeral services
and
outdoor
burials
to 100 people.
"A
funeral
for 100 people is not exactly on the verge of piety," said
Winfried Kretschmann
.
"Nobody has to be afraid that we will go to cemeteries and say: You mustn't stand there." The regional churches and dioceses are well organized.
Winfried Kretschmann sees problems above all in Muslim and free church funeral ceremonies, where hundreds of people would meet.
“These are the problem areas,” says
Winfried Kretschmann
.
"Since we always have to do it the same way for everyone, we are unfortunately forced to do so because of such incidents." The
state government
is forced
to justify
the
restrictions in response
to
repeated criticism
.
The
Ministry of
Science
recently commissioned researchers to examine the corona measures in Baden-Württemberg. * In a fortnight the curve of the
corona infections
will be looked
at and a decision
will be made
on further steps, according to
Health Minister Manne Lucha
.
