In view of the increasing number of new infections in Austria, Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) wants to discuss all urgent bilateral crown issues with Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) shortly. He wanted to meet briefly “soon,” Söder said on Tuesday after a change conference of the heads of government of the German states with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) in Berlin. In addition, Söder spoke out against the new border closures.

Söder referred to the increase in the number of crowns in Austria, the designation of Tyrol as a new risk zone, and the many travelers between Bavaria and Austria. The Free State sticks to its local Corona test stations, providing an opportunity to react through rapid tests. Continue that.

“Supplement for border traffic”

But a “supplement for border traffic” is also needed, Söder said, also with regard to the new test strategy planned by the federal government. Söder opposed the new border closures: “One of the priorities should also be that the borders remain open.”

Going forward, Söder demanded a timely warning from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) before the designation of new international corona risk areas. Currently, new areas are named overnight. A warning would be of the utmost importance, said the head of CSU, he spoke of a period of about two days. The state of Tyrol, which borders Bavaria, was declared a corona risk zone by the RKI a few days ago.
