After hours of negotiations, the federal and state governments cannot agree on a uniform course on accommodation bans for tourists from risky areas within Germany. The effectiveness of the controversial measure must be verified before November 8.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has massively criticized previous resolutions of the Prime Minister’s Conference. “Our announcements are not harsh enough to prevent us from disaster,” said the CDU politician according to the consensus of the participants during the meeting in Berlin.
With the measures now in place, the federal and state governments would be “back here in two weeks.” “What we are doing here is not enough.” The basic frame of mind is that all countries are looking for a little loophole. “That’s what worries me. And the list of failing health departments is getting longer.”
In the round of the federal and state governments, which have been negotiating since 2 p.m., there was still a tough fight at night to lift the accommodation ban due to the increasing number of corona infections, without success. According to information from ntv, the prime ministers postponed the decision on a uniform regulation to November 8. Until then, the effectiveness of the controversial measure must be verified.
Some states like Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania want to keep it, Saxony and other states want to abolish it as soon as possible. So for the moment, the accommodation ban is still a patchwork quilt.
