The Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) expects an extension of the partial lockdown.
“We cannot end the breakwater lockdown at the end of November, even if we all wish,” she told the “Saarbrücker Zeitung” (Tuesday).
“What doesn't work with a mask cannot take place for the time being.
The numbers are too high to open restaurants, bars or hotels in early December, ”said Dreyer.
The Prime Ministers of the federal states want to consult with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) again this Wednesday via video link and then decide on a concept for the next few weeks.
The nationwide partial lockdown with the closings of restaurants, cultural and sports facilities applies until the end of November.
With a view to Christmas and New Year's Eve, Dreyer said that it was clear to her that people could then meet their loved ones.
"It is also clear that we have to limit contacts here." Large New Year's Eve parties or crowds of people at popular places are also "definitely too great a risk," said the head of government.

The evening before, Dreyer had spoken out in a conversation with "SWR Aktuell Rheinland-Pfalz" in favor of easing contact restrictions over Christmas and New Year's Eve.
She said, “... one should actually relax the contact restrictions a little on Christmas through New Year's Eve or into the New Year.
Our proposal is a household plus people outside the household up to 10 people, whereby children are of course not counted, because you cannot say that a child up to 14 years of age stays at home because the number is skipped. "
