.

"From a Berlin perspective, I can say that we have already decided on many measures in this draft." It remains the responsibility of the federal states to implement the law, should it be "passed in this or a similar form".

The Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Manuela Schwesig, spoke out on Saturday in favor of the regulation of corona requirements by federal law.
