Because of the Corona rules at Christmas, there is a risk of a dispute between Angela Merkel and the countries.

Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein want to allow hotel stays.

  • There are discussions

    about Corona at

    Christmas

    .

  • The reason are the

    rules

    - even on

    New Year's Eve

    .

  • Meanwhile, the number of

    new infections

    continues to

    rise

    .

Berlin - The

Corona rules

are to be

relaxed

at

Christmas

- but now planned

hotel stays are causing

discussions.

The heads of government of Berlin, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia are in favor of allowing precisely that.

Also

Lower Saxony

and

Schleswig-Holstein

will follow suit now.

This practice is in contrast to

Angela Merkel's

opinion, which was also

communicated

by Chancellery Minister Helge Braun

(CDU)

.

The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported on this.

Corona rules at Christmas: Some countries want to allow hotel stays

“You can't control that.

And tourist trips are not allowed under any circumstances, ”said Braun.

Lower Saxony's

government spokeswoman Anke Pörksen told the "dpa" on Friday that it would be possible for relatives and close friends to visit

the hotel at

Christmas

.

Even in times of

Corona

.

Visiting relatives is not a tourist overnight stay.

It

could look different

on

New Year's Eve

- Poerksen gives a view.

"I assume that this regulation will also apply on New Year's Eve," said the government spokeswoman.

The new

Corona regulation

is still in the final vote.

(1) If it continued with a very slow decrease in cases, we would probably have to expect an increase after the New Year.

About 12,000 people would die in the next 8 weeks.

Plus at least 100,000 long-term courses.

Any easing remained impossible.

What would be alternatives?
