Infection level too high
Merkel calls for new crown measures
There is too much talk about mulled wine stands and too little about nurses in intensive care units, Chancellor Merkel said at a meeting of the Union parliamentary group. He does not consider the current crowning measures to be sufficient.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for a new calendar for the crown’s measurements before Christmas. Ntv learned this from the circles of the Union parliamentary group. In a meeting of the parliamentary group of the Union, he said that the steps planned by Bavaria were going in the right direction. Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder announced on Sunday that the crown’s measures would be tightened again for the Free State.
“We will not be able to get through the winter without additional measures,” Merkel said. He strongly advocated a joint approach by the federal and state governments because the measures would then be more accepted. Merkel kept the goal of reducing the number of new infections to 50 per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days to ensure follow-up. With the exception of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein, the so-called 7-day incidence is significantly higher in all federal states.
The level of new infections is too high, Merkel said. The current debate is not balanced: “There is too much talk about mulled wine stands and too little about nurses in intensive care units.”
