After the Prime Minister's Conference (MPK) on the corona pandemic, Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) spoke out in favor of leaving party politics aside and pulling together.
Now it is a matter of fighting together for health protection, he said on Thursday evening in Dresden: "This virus cannot be defeated politically, but only with clear, medical measures."
Dresden - Saxony wants to approve the new corona measures worked out by the SPD, Greens and FDP on Friday in the Federal Council.
The MPK rightly decided that 2G (vaccinated or recovered) will be necessary in the future.
Many federal states are still a long way from the Saxon incidence figures.
But given the current dynamics, no region can assume that it will experience Christmas without restrictions.
“So now is the time to clearly step on the brakes in other regions as well.
We in the Free State of Saxony have to do this more clearly, ”said Kretschmer.

FDP MP calls for free corona tests
According to the head of government, the federal government has given a clear commitment to look at the corona situation again and to sharpen the instruments by December 9th at the latest. "We have the opportunity to work with very clear instruments in the next three weeks." Every event that does not take place, every occasion on which not many people come together, is a gain. Infections arise where many people come together in a confined space.
Kretschmer had agreed the population in the state parliament on Thursday for further cuts, but avoided the word lockdown.
