Berlin - In the

CDU presidium

in

Berlin

, one week after the start of the partial lockdown, in view of increasing

corona infections, there is

no reason to relax.

Participants in the virtual meeting on Monday said that several participants agreed that it was too early to determine how the previous

corona measures

, the so-called

lockdown light *

, would affect the

corona pandemic in Germany

.

In the run-up to the measures, there was Zoff about Germany's lockdown alternative - Germany's top virologists disagreed on the procedure.

The information that the broadcaster

n-tv claims to have received

from government

circles is explosive

.

Accordingly, there is a threat of tightening the

corona contact restrictions.

The station quotes Chancellor

Angela Merkel * as

follows: “

 We don't need to talk

about 

easing

.

We may even have to step up. ”Bavaria's Prime Minister

Markus Söder

also adds

on Twitter and sees no reason to discuss easing in the Free State.

. @ Markus_Soeder: Nowhere in Bavaria is there any reason to discuss easing.

Anyone who loosens up now has to give an answer on how else he can guarantee safety.

Corona in Germany: Merkel plans to take stock of the lockdown in a week

Merkel

(CDU) plans

to speak

to the prime minister in a week about the status of the

corona restrictions imposed

.

On November 2nd, these were initially set to four weeks.

"The numbers have to go down," said Health Minister

Jens Spahn

at the virtual conference of the CDU * Presidium.

Another, not named participant said that the goal is to reach fewer than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week - but that is a long way off.

The head of the Chancellery, Helge Braun, and Chancellor Angela Merkel recently revealed the corona value that should be achieved.

As the

dpa

further reported from the meeting, overloading the health system must be avoided as a matter of urgency.

In addition, cross-border ambulance transports would have to be made possible in order to ease the situation in some regions.

Economic aid was also discussed - it had to be ensured that the financial aid reached the sectors that needed it.

The

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

reports that the Chancellor said on Sunday that the entire

corona requirements could

only be lifted if up to 70 percent of the population in Germany were immune to the

corona

virus *

.

In addition,

Reiner Haseloff

, Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt,

expects

the order to further tighten the planned corona interim balance on November 16.

Corona pandemic: Infections peak - more than 23,000 cases

The

Robert Koch Institute *

At the beginning of the week, on November 9, reported over 13,000 new

corona infections

in the past 24 hours.

The highest level of the previous infection rate was reached on Saturday with 23,399 reported cases.

The current case numbers are lower on Monday, as fewer tests are carried out on the weekend.

Meanwhile, several top CDU politicians are in quarantine.
