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

.
