The corona numbers are increasing.

Nevertheless, Easter vacation could be possible.

A resolution proposal for the Corona summit with Chancellor Merkel gives hope.

Update from March 21, 11:59 a.m.:

Now a draft resolution has already

leaked

one day before the federal-state summit.

Accordingly, Angela Merkel wants to extend the lockdown.

But when it comes to travel and vacations, there is hope.

The

picture

quotes from the template as follows: "The concept of 'low-contact vacation' can be made possible for citizens of their own country, taking into account the applicable contact restrictions, strict hygiene requirements and the implementation of a test regime".

This would include overnight stays, where meals can be organized through self-sufficiency and own sanitary facilities can be used.

So that means: Holidays in holiday flats and apartments as well as in mobile homes could become possible.

Corona summit with Merkel: Easter vacation despite third wave?

First report from March 21: Berlin - The current Corona numbers in Germany are causing great concern.

The RKI warned days ago that the third wave had already reached Germany.

Hidden in his report, it was even mentioned that the incidence of the British mutant had been increasing exponentially for weeks. *

Corona summit: Easter vacation despite rising numbers?

In this situation, the Corona summit between the federal and state governments is now on the program on March 22nd.

Here Angela Merkel and the state princes actually wanted to discuss the easing of lockdowns based on the previously worked out 5-step plan.

Especially the upcoming Easter holidays should be a topic.

Many people recently hoped for easing - also to be able to visit their relatives on the holidays.

But after a year full of Corona * measures, many Germans also long for a vacation in general.

Even before Easter, many took the chance that Mallorca is no longer a risk area and traveled to the south *.

Corona summit with Merkel: Easter vacation?

Already in advance there is a threat of going it alone

That caused trouble in Germany.

On the one hand, many warn of the risks.

For example, Olaf Scholz: "If a lot of people go on Easter vacation on a grand scale, it jeopardizes the summer vacation of all of us," said the finance minister shortly before the Merkel summit on BamS.

But Scholz also opened a back door: "Perhaps within a country it is possible to enable vacation homes to be used," said the SPD politician.

The prerequisite for this, however, is that the incidence values ​​are correspondingly low.

Other politicians are angry that some are now flying to Mallorca, while holidays in Germany are not possible because of the existing measures.

For example, Prime Minister Malu Dreyer in Rhineland-Palatinate wants to facilitate easing despite the increasing number of infections.

Among other things, the outdoor catering is to open on March 22nd.

The aim is "that people can hike with us during the upcoming Easter holidays and stop in a garden restaurant instead of flying to Mallorca," said Dreyer.

And even in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein, a number of hotels could open at Easter despite increasing numbers.

The Prime Ministers Daniel Günther and Manuela Schwesig had expressed their opinion in advance accordingly.

On the other hand, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder has already ruled out further easing in view of the pandemic situation.

So hot discussions are pending at the federal-state summit.
