Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) does not see the end of the pandemic situation of national scope.
"On the contrary, it is just gaining strength and danger again," said the head of government to the German Press Agency in Dresden on Wednesday, contradicting Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU).
He had previously spoken out in favor of the fact that after the 25th
Dresden - November does not come to renewed extension of the nationwide Corona emergency.
“A big mistake happened in the spring. Politicians had decided against the advice of science to lift protective measures in the event of increasing infections. The result was the federal emergency brake and lockdown in spring. If you want to enforce normality, you may be preventing it, ”argued Kretschmer. In these days one can still decide whether restrictions could be concentrated on the risk group of the unvaccinated. In a few weeks, this option will no longer exist either.
“2G is now an absolute must.
The infections in the unvaccinated people determine this fourth wave, ”said Kretschmer in conclusion.
The population must be informed about the current corona development.
This requires a public debate and a decision as to which protective measures are socially supported.
