1:12 pm | Görlitzer district administrator Lange calls for uniform crown rules in Saxony
Görlitzer district administrator Bernd Lange came out in favor of uniform rules in Saxony before a new crown protection ordinance was passed. This could achieve greater acceptance among the population, he said Friday from the district office. In principle, Lange also spoke in favor of stricter regulations to contain the corona pandemic.
However, when considering the specs, we must also ask ourselves if we can implement this. We need rules that are controllable. Only then can we support the adjustment.
12:11 pm | Men’s creators expect support through the “So geht Sächsisch” campaign
The Erzgebirge Toy Craftsmen and Manufacturers Association can look forward to the support of the Free State of Saxony through the image campaign “So geht Sächsisch”. This is what the association’s director, Frederic Günther, MDR SACHSEN, said today after a meeting with Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer. The men-makers of the Metallic Mountains are particularly concerned about the “increased visibility” that occurs in the Christmas markets. These will not take place this year due to the corona pandemic in the classical sense.
Günther said he described the difficult situation in the industry to the head of government. According to Günther, there are usually around 200 stalls selling Erzgebirge folk art in Saxon Christmas markets. If they are missing, the artisans lose around six million euros in sales. In addition, the specialized trade has fewer customers because there are fewer people on the move and tourists are completely absent. Many companies now increasingly rely on online stores or a factory outlet in front of their businesses to be able to serve local customers.
11:18 am | Görlitz district plans vaccination center in Löbau

Together with the Mayor of Löbau, Dietmar Buchholz, the further course of action was agreed. The Free State is already preparing the first vaccination centers in Dresden, Chemnitz and Leipzig. The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs has not yet approved the proposed vaccination center in Löbau.
09:56 am | The Sorabo national ensemble postpones new bird wedding program until 2022
The Sorbian national ensemble has canceled its bird wedding programs. As the facility announced, submissions are no longer possible due to the corona pandemic and current official regulations associated with it. Furthermore, it is not known when the closing of the theaters will be lifted again and to what extent theatrical performances will be allowed again.
The Sorabo National Ensemble is thus forced, according to its own statements, to cancel popular performances for the first time since the bird wedding programs began in 1957. The premieres scheduled for early next year will be recovered in 2022.
08:55 am | The Director of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Saxony suggests massive corona tests for all
The director of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Saxony, Klaus Heckemann, has proposed massive corona tests for the entire population. Heckemann told the MDR that he would like further expansion of rapid tests. That would give you tremendous security. You could find out who is infected and slowly starve the virus.
According to Heckemann, the prerequisite is that sufficient rapid tests are available. Currently, these tests are only used as a complement to the classic PCR test, which is evaluated in the laboratory. The result is available in a short time, but it is less clear. Critics also point out that mass rapid tests only show a snapshot. The entire population was recently tested in Slovakia and South Tyrol.
