On Monday, the Prime Ministers want to take stock of the current Corona measures with Angela Merkel.

A CDU man previously dampened hopes for easing soon.

  • Saxony's Prime Minister

    Michael Kretschmer

    does not yet recognize the necessary successes for early easing in the corona numbers.

  • He did not say

    whether there might be a

    threat of tightening

    after the next

    Prime Minister's Conference

    on Monday.

  • Jens Spahn

    recognizes a first positive change in the curve of the

    new corona infections

    .

Update from November 11th, 5:23 pm:

“You have to assume that the

second wave * is

harder.”

Chancellor Angela Merkel

(CDU)

said these words

on Wednesday at the digital handover of the annual report of the “economic wise men”.

And the wave falls above all in a worse

season

, namely in the winter months.

“That means it will keep us

busy

all

winter

.” The good news regarding the

development of vaccines *

does not change this fact either.

Corona precautionary measures would still have to apply.

Your assessment should have weight, because the next meeting of the

Prime Ministers

will take place next Monday

with the Chancellor, where an interim

balance sheet

on the

partial lockdown is

expected.

Corona in Germany: Saxony's Prime Minister only recognizes a slight sideways movement

First report from November 11th, 3:32 p.m.:

Berlin / Dresden - With the help of the

partial lockdown

in November in Germany, a decisive goal should be achieved:

reduce the

number of infected patients with the

corona

virus

.

Because many

new infections

have a delayed effect that the

intensive care units

in hospitals are busy and that the

death rate

in connection with the coronavirus is increasing.

How close Germany has come to this goal so far, the Prime Ministers want to discuss with Chancellor Angela Merkel * (CDU) on Monday (November 16).

An

interim conclusion

is planned.

How Saxony's Prime Minister

Michael Kretschmer

(CDU), himself currently in quarantine at home, assesses the situation, he made

clear

on Wednesday on

ARD “Morgenmagazin”

.

The current change in the numbers is not enough for him: “We have at most achieved a

slight sideways movement

.” However, Kretschmer points out that the measures have only been effective since November 2nd.

"But if we do not actually succeed in getting back down substantially - that is, 50 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants over seven days - then those will be difficult months that lie ahead of us." Merkel and her Chancellor

Helge Braun

also want this parameter

to make contacts easier to understand again.

Corona in Germany: Merkel is already talking about tightening - Kretschmer is stepping up

Thus the partial lockdown in November * is so effective that in December again

easing

can be made, it needs "the corresponding results," notes Kretschmer.

Looking at the talks at the

Prime Minister's

Conference, he said: "We'll see what

decisions

we have to come to next Monday, because the numbers we have now are nowhere near enough." If the numbers change in the following days should develop better, "then we discuss differently".

Carelessness is the greatest danger in the pandemic.

We have 1 week of lockdown behind us.

We do not yet see a substantial reduction d.

Infection numbers, maximum slight sideways movement.

We must succeed in pushing back the incidence of infections through consistent behavior.

He did not

respond to

the question of whether

the corona measures

might

need to be

tightened

.

It has been discussed since Monday whether this is possibly planned.

Angela Merkel said after

information

on

n-tv

: “

 We don't need to talk

about 

easing

.

We may even have to add more. "

Corona in Germany: Health Minister Spahn recognizes the first positive change

Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU *) at least recognizes signs of a positive change in the

infection situation in Germany

in the current corona numbers

.

In the program “Frühstart” on

n-tv

, Spahn said: “What we can see is that the dynamics have significantly reduced in the last few days.

It is still rising, but it is rising less rapidly. ”That is encouraging at first, but it is not enough.

“We have to go down with the numbers, and indeed significantly.”

Spahn does not want to speak of

a

trend reversal

in any case.

Whether or not the current

closings

and measures make a difference will only become apparent shortly.

In the meantime, there is also discussion about whether the

Christmas holidays

should start earlier in view of the situation.

NRW Prime Minister

Armin Laschet *

(CDU) brought the idea into play on Tuesday - it's about a start two days earlier.

Spahn commented positively on the proposal of his teammate in the fight for the

CDU chairmanship

: "That is certainly part of the debate." This could possibly also be discussed on Monday.

On Wednesday, the

Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported

18,487 new cases of infection that were recorded.

This was significantly less than the record 23,399 cases the institute counted last Saturday.

But compared to the previous day, there were 261 deaths, and the RKI reports a total of 11,767 deaths in connection with the coronavirus *.

The corona crisis has less of an impact on the German economy than previously assumed.

The five economic modes come to the assessment.

But there are risks.
