" he says in the ZDF "Morgenmagazin".
House or apartment may only be left with good reason.
In addition, the mask requirement was expanded and alcohol bans were issued.
Saxony's Prime Minister is likely to keep the catering and hotels closed until January.
Saxony
currently has a
7-day incidence of 257
and thus
the highest rate of new infections in Germany
within 7 days per 100,000 inhabitants.
According to the RKI dashboard, Chemnitz (219.6) has now also exceeded the critical 200 mark.
In Chemnitz, contact and exit restrictions also apply from this Wednesday.

Corona in Germany: situation in hospitals under control - but worry about easing
Update from December 2, 9.55 a.m
.: Despite a record number of corona deaths, the head of the Intensive Care Medicine Association Divi,
Uwe Janssens
,
sees
the
situation in the hospitals under control
.
"We hope very strongly, and we have also seen it in the last few days, that we are entering a very high stabilization phase in German intensive care units,"
said the President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and Emergency Medicine (Divi) on Wednesday on ZDF- " Morning magazine ".
The increases in the numbers are no longer there to the extent that “that means we are reaching a plateau”.
If it stayed that way, there could be a slight decrease in stress in 14 to 20 days.
Janssens said the
high death rate
was the result of the
high number of infections
in recent weeks.
"It takes a while until a patient suffering from Covid-19 unfortunately takes this difficult path and dies," he said.
Coronavirus in Germany: In some regions 20 to 30 percent free intensive care beds
In some regions of Germany, many intensive care beds are still available, 20 to 30 percent in Schleswig-Holstein or Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
In the theoretical case of increasing numbers of infections again, these resources would first have to be used by relocations.
Only then did you arrive at a border, but he and many of his colleagues did not assume that it would get that far.
At the same time, the intensive care doctor renewed his concern about the relaxation of the corona measures over the holidays.
