Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer expects a uniform approach from the upcoming federal-state meeting on the corona situation.

"We have to send a strong joint signal on Thursday that the situation is very threatening," said the CDU politician on Monday evening in an ARD "Extra".

Since the beginning of last week, Saxony was the first federal state to enact comprehensive 2G rules, which in many areas only provide access for those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered.

Kretschmer also considers this to be necessary nationwide.

Germany must now do that as a whole, there is nothing else to do.

The incumbent Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn spoke in the ARD broadcast and in a ZDF "Special" of a week of decisions at the Prime Minister's Conference and in the Bundestag on Thursday, where the amended Infection Act is up for vote.

Spahn also warned that uniformity of resolutions was necessary for acceptance by the citizens.

But everyone should be careful in everyday life, said the CDU politician in the ARD.

He pointed out the rules of distance, wearing masks and more tests.

If in doubt, one should be tested in the family before a visit, even vaccinated people, advised the minister.
