According to the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Winfried Kretschmann (Greens), the move to end the epidemic situation is a “wrong signal” in view of the rising Corona values.
While Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) considers this step to be the right one, the Prime Ministers are against it, emphasized the Prime Minister on Tuesday in Stuttgart.
Stuttgart - "Like the other colleagues, I wasn't very happy about it," said Kretschmann.
This topic has been controversial for days, not least in view of the currently increasing number of infections in Germany and also in Baden-Württemberg.
Critics fear a “patchwork quilt” of measures and regulations if the “epidemic situation of national scope” expires.
The Robert Koch Institute announced the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week for the first time on Sunday with a clear three-digit value.
