Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The state government in Schwerin is today again consulting with representatives from business and trade unions about the corona protective measures.
The switching conference should primarily focus on the implementation of the most recent federal / state agreements.
The Prime Minister and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) agreed on Tuesday to extend the lockdown to mid-February in view of the continued high number of infections.
In addition, wearing medical protective masks in local transport and retail should become mandatory.
Among other things, this must now be anchored in the Corona state ordinance.
The state parliament had given its approval in a special session on Thursday.
However, the requirements initiated by the federal government for more home offices in companies are controversial.
The umbrella association of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania economy rejected the regulation presented by Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) in an initial reaction as "unworldly".
Working in the office is not an infection driver, and employers in the northeast are already making extensive use of the home office, it said.
