Request from Braun: Call out the emergency plan again
In front of the switch, the executive head of the Chancellery, Helge Braun, knocked on an "emergency brake" in order to master the infection situation.
"In Germany we have come into the situation that we always wanted to avoid: our health system is regionally overloaded," said the CDU politician to the newspapers of the Funke media group.
"We now need an emergency brake, and every day now counts." This is the only way to reduce the number of infections by Christmas.
The Chancellery Minister called for the epidemic situation of national importance that expired last week to be declared again.
This situation is definitely there, and the countries need the further measures that are associated with it.
According to the will of the traffic light parties, the "epidemic situation of national importance" expired one day after the new Infection Protection Act came into force last Thursday.
It was the legal basis for far-reaching measures in the fight against the corona pandemic.
The Union had criticized that the catalog of measures made possible by law was not sufficient.
