Angela Merkel has apparently called for stricter corona rules for unvaccinated people in the CDU federal executive committee.

The measures could go beyond the 2G model.

Berlin - Chancellor Angela Merkel * has spoken out in favor of tightening the corona rules, according to media reports.

In the CDU federal executive committee, the (still) chancellor called for “severe restrictions for unvaccinated people”, according to ntv.

Merkel justifies her position with the exponential increase in the number of corona infections.

It was initially not entirely clear which measures, according to Merkel, should apply.

The CDU politician is said to have spoken of daily corona tests at work for unvaccinated people.

The restrictions could also go beyond the 2G model.

On Tuesday (November 2nd) the state of Saxony decided on a nationwide 2G concept and thus a quasi-lockdown for unvaccinated people *.

Corona in Germany: Incidence falls for the first time - 10,813 new cases

In Germany, the corona numbers had recently risen sharply. The rise in the seven-day incidence, which has been going on for a good two and a half weeks, did not continue on Tuesday, however. The Robert Koch Institute * stated the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days on Tuesday morning as 153.7. The previous day the value was 154.8 (previous week: 113.0). The numbers may be skewed, however, because fewer numbers may have been reported on Monday due to the holiday.

November 1st as All Saints' Day is a public holiday in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.

In the morning, the RKI only said that individual values ​​would not be commented on.

The RKI put the daily new infections on Monday morning (as of 5 a.m.) at 10,813;

a week ago the value was 10,473 new cases.

In addition, 81 deaths were recorded throughout Germany within 24 hours.

A week ago it was 128.

Corona in Germany: incidence patchwork among the federal states

Meanwhile, there are significant differences between the individual federal states in terms of the infection situation.

The corona situation is currently more tense than in the future 2G state of Saxony (incidence: 284.4) only in Thuringia (306.5).

Bavaria reached a new record with 248.9 on Tuesday, which is why stricter rules apply from now on - also for those who have been vaccinated.

The Mühldorf am Inn district also has the highest incidence in Germany (650.7) from the Free State.

The seven-day incidence is currently lowest in Schleswig-Holstein (70.6).

The Saarland (74.3), Lower Saxony (77.9), Bremen (86.0), Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (94.4) and Rhineland-Palatinate (95.3) also reached double-digit values.
