“The figures are still too high,” says the Bavarian prime minister. It even calls for a tightening of the measures. It also requires “uniform crown rules” for schools.
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder speaks out against relaxing measures to combat the crown; instead, it even calls for a setting. Söder said Süddeutsche Zeitung: “The curve is flattening, but the numbers are still too high.” You have to “go back to the incidence value of 50; only then can infections be tracked sustainably.” The incidence value, that is, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a week, is currently around 180 in Bavaria.
This Monday, the 16 prime ministers, together with the Chancellor, want to take stock of the restrictions that will extend throughout November. Söder assumes that it is still too early to make fundamental decisions in this conversation. “We can only decide next week if we have to extend the blockade or even deepen it,” said the CSU chief.
If Söder has his way, there could be another meeting between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor in the week of November 23-27, during which measures against the pandemic will even be extended and toughened rather than relaxed.
Merkel also put citizens in the mood for difficult months. “The winter ahead will demand a lot from all of us,” Merkel said in a video podcast. The virus “will determine our lives for a long time; that also means that we will not be able to meet in person.”
Söder demands an adjustment of the curriculum
Söder told the SZ that “special attention” should now be paid to schools. “The mood in the school family” is “very tense”. Now “uniform Corona rules are needed: for example, a mask requirement for all schools in Germany. And as a precautionary rule, of when and how for older classes the classes could take place in presence or alternately if necessary. “. In addition, “a clear agreement is needed to adapt curricula to reduce performance pressure on students.”
