The planned Corona Infection Protection Act leaves many questions unanswered, according to Söder Minister Klaus Holetschek.
He criticizes the federal government.
Munich – Klaus Holetschek (CSU) still sees many open questions in the planned new Infection Protection Act.
It is like "so often" with a federal law, "there is a law and it is not thought through to the end," criticized Bavaria's Minister of Health on Thursday (August 4) in the ARD "Morgenmagazin".
“Which parameters apply when?
How do controls work, for example when the FFP2 mask does not apply?” he gave as examples.
Corona Infection Protection Act: Criticism from Bavaria
To protect against a new wave of corona, the federal government plans to make masks compulsory again in shops and authorities from October.
The federal states should make the decision themselves.
Holetschek now demanded more uniform criteria.
"We all don't want a lockdown, and we don't want any more school closures."
However, he would have liked the package to be looked at as a whole.
In addition, the institution-related vaccination obligation must be suspended.
