In view of the worsening corona situation, Baden-Württemberg is open to an early federal-state meeting.
“The Prime Minister is open to talks.
The situation is serious, "said a spokeswoman for the State Ministry of the German press agency on Tuesday.
"That is why close political coordination between the federal and state governments makes sense."
Stuttgart - That applies especially with a view to the phase of the change of government in the federal government. The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in the southwest was 256.8 on Monday and was thus higher than the previous day (235.1). The value indicates how many new infections with the coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants were reported to the authorities within a week.
A departure from the multi-stage alarm system in the southwest is not planned, the State Ministry said. “With the three-stage system in Baden-Württemberg, we have a good foundation that we want to keep. That is why it is also important that the relevant principles are contained in the Infection Protection Act, ”said the spokeswoman. “But of course we also have to look at the aggravations in line with the situation - such as 3G in the workplace.” 3G means that only those who have been vaccinated, those who have recovered and who have been tested should be allowed access.
The tier system in Baden-Württemberg depends on the number of corona patients in intensive care units and the so-called hospitalization incidence, which indicates the number of people who come to a clinic with corona symptoms per 100,000 inhabitants within a week.
At the moment, the so-called warning level applies in Baden-Württemberg, which already entails restrictions for many unvaccinated people.
In the government, however, one expects the alert level to be reached in a few days: Then the Corona Ordinance provides for the 2G rule nationwide in restaurants, museums, exhibitions and most other public events.
Many unvaccinated people would then no longer have the opportunity to participate in public life in many areas.
