Armin Laschet wants to bring forward the Corona summit with Chancellor Merkel.
Bavaria would be willing to do so under one condition.
Meanwhile, CSU General Secretary Markus Blume is heavily criticized.
Update from April 6th, 1:21 p.m .:
North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet had advertised a "bridge lockdown", he would like to bring forward the planned Prime Minister's Conference.
Bavaria is ready to do so, but only if all federal states are generally ready to tighten the rules (see initial notification).
However, the Free State still sees a need for clarification with a view to the “bridge lockdown”.
“Bavaria continues to advocate consistent action in the fight against the pandemic.
It is therefore gratifying when other federal states also follow this course.
However, there should first be more clarity about what exactly North Rhine-Westphalia is planning. ”That said the Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek on Tuesday in Munich.
He is currently also Chairman of the Conference of Health Ministers.
The CSU politician further said: "If the number of infections increases, more stringent measures must be discussed." However, it is very important that new steps are accepted by the citizens.
“That is why we need concrete concepts that are supported by scientific data.
This also applies to the advance from North Rhine-Westphalia, ”said Holetschek.

The CSU is ready for this, but that is not the case everywhere, said Blume.
Some even want to declare their entire country to be a model region with openings, he criticized with a view to the Saarland, which wants to start exiting the lockdown this Tuesday.
"A corona lockdown messing around, as we experienced at the last MPK with hours of meetings, and then you part ways, and everyone does different things, that can't be the way."
