Because of several corona diseases, the CSU state group in the Bundestag has canceled its traditional closed meeting.
The two-day retreat, which should have taken place this Thursday and Friday, will be postponed to a later date, as reported by "Münchner Merkur" and the dpa news agency.
State group chief Alexander Dobrindt is among those infected with corona - although he has been vaccinated and boosted twice.
Four employees of the CSU in the Bundestag as well as the head of the Spanish Conservatives, Pablo Casado, who are planned as a guest, are also ill.
The exam will be made up for in a timely manner, it said.
Due to the corona, the closed conference should not take place in the Bavarian Seeon Abbey for the second time in a row, but in Berlin.
The CSU in the Bundestag had created a strict security concept for this.
In order to report on the exam, journalists would have had to provide proof that they were vaccinated and a negative PCR test.
