The corona virus has troubled the Czech Republic in the past few weeks, now the Prime Ministers of Bavaria and Saxony are presenting a plan for how to proceed.
Update from March 1, 11 a.m.:
The situation in the Czech Republic and the border regions with Bavaria and Saxony remains tense.
For this reason, the prime ministers of the two federal states informed on Monday at a specially convened press conference.
Bavaria and the Czech Republic are demanding special aid for Corona hotspots from Berlin and Brussels.
"We want additional vaccine deliveries from the federal government and the EU," said Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) in Munich on Monday.
This is important so that, in the future, openings can be justified again due to the falling incidence.
Bavaria will also "consciously strengthen" its hotspots and give more vaccine to the counties in the border regions. Both countries also wanted to help the Czech Republic better, not just by admitting corona patients to hospitals.
“We have to support the heart of Europe, which suffers particularly from Corona.
This heart needs special support, you have to increase its pumping capacity, ”emphasized Söder.
In order to improve the difficult situation in the Czech Republic, Bavaria and the Czech Republic would also deliver rapid tests and vaccines to the neighboring country.
The current tools could not solve the corona situation in the border regions, said Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU).
A special vaccination regime is needed for the hotspots.
He suggested vaccination offers for all adults over the age of 18 in the affected regions.
This is one way of preventing the virus from spreading.
Bavaria and Saxony are currently particularly challenged by their borders with the Czech Republic: districts near the border have been among the most noticeable corona hotspots in Germany for some time.
That is why there are now stricter controls at the borders with the neighboring country of the Czech Republic.
