    with his

    Corona

Munich - The debate about Prime Minister

Markus Söder's

demand for a Europe-wide

closure of the ski resorts

is

entering

a new round: Now there is even

resistance

in Söder's own party, more precisely the

CSU

state group.

Paul Lehrieder, tourism expert of the Union parliamentary group in the Bundestag, is against a blanket ski ban.

"Nothing happens on the slopes," the CSU member of the Bundestag emphasized to the

Augsburger Allgemeine

.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder reaps criticism from CSU for a ski ban

In regions with low numbers of corona infections, skiing with

distance rules

and

hygiene measures

can certainly be allowed.

Lehrieder's suggestion: For example, only one person could ever sit in double chair lifts, or

corona rapid

tests

could be available for skiers, as at airports

.

“Sport in the fresh air strengthens the immune system,” the politician clarifies.

The fact is: In the

Free State

, cable cars and

ski lifts will be

closed until December 20th.

Söder has

already made it clear: Even after that, winter sports enthusiasts have little prospect of loosening the requirements.

At the same time, the

Prime Minister called on

other Alpine countries - including Austria and Switzerland - to follow the Bavarian example.

The nationwide

Corona policy

remains exciting today, Wednesday: At 1 p.m. there will be another

conference of the Prime Ministers

with Chancellor

Merkel

in Berlin

.

A press conference with

Markus Söder

and Angela Merkel is planned
