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.
