Bavaria criticizes traffic light plans for Corona: "The pandemic remains unpredictable"

Bavaria has criticized the traffic light plans for Corona.

Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) doubts a statement and warns: "The pandemic remains unpredictable."

Munich - Klaus Holetschek has criticized the plans of the SPD *, Greens * and FDP * in the federal government for the future legal situation in the Corona * pandemic.

There is still an "emergency of international concern," said Bavaria's health minister.

The CSU * politician is also chairman of the conference of health ministers.

"That is why the countries need the greatest possible flexibility in order to be able to react to increasing numbers of infections *."

It does not make sense that the state parliaments should in future be curtailed in their right to decide for themselves on an epidemic situation in their country.

Corona in Bavaria: "Winter is coming.

The number of infections is increasing.

The pandemic remains unpredictable "

The date mentioned by the three possible future coalition partners for the end of the corona situation must also be doubted, according to Holetschek.

"Winter is coming.

The number of infections is increasing.

The pandemic remains unpredictable.

Nobody knows today whether it will be over on March 20, 2022. "

Corona in Bavaria: the federal and state governments have to make adjustments - CSU minister warns

In order to be prepared for the coming months, the federal and state governments urgently need to readjust "where there is a fire or where it can burn quickly," said Bavaria's health minister.

For example, compensation payments are needed for those clinics that have recorded significant decreases in occupancy and thus in revenue due to the care of Covid 19 patients.

“The federal government now has to regulate this quickly and unbureaucratically.” In addition, more support is needed for the nursing staff.

The CSU politician called for tax exemption for all surcharges for nursing staff.

Holetschek warned at a press conference on Tuesday.

“It's really precarious.

People are at their limit (...) In the long term, we have to set the right framework conditions for care. ”Otherwise you would run into a“ humanitarian catastrophe. ”

SPD, Greens and FDP want to end the special corona situation

Corona: "Epidemic situation of national scope" is to end in November

The possible future government partners SPD, Greens and FDP do not want to extend the legal basis for extensive corona restrictions in Germany any further.

The “epidemic situation of national importance” is supposed to end after around 20 months on November 25th.

The main reason given by the three groups on Wednesday was the progress of the vaccinations.

For a transitional period up to March 20, 2022, however, the federal states are to be given less comprehensive requirements.
