The SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach calls for a nationwide curfew as in France at the turn of the year.
"I think a curfew, for example from 8 p.m. as in France, is right and sensible to reduce the number of infections," said Lauterbach to "Bild" (preliminary report).
He also spoke out in favor of a strict ban on firecrackers.
“There is nothing to celebrate this New Year's Eve.
Thousands of people struggle to breathe air in hospitals ”.
It would relieve the hospitals and the regulatory authorities if they did not also have to do with firecrackers accidents and other "party chaos" in Corona times.
A comprehensive closure of schools in Germany is approaching again.
The dynamics of the coronavirus pandemic make "further restrictions on all levels of society" necessary, said the chairwoman of the Conference of Education Ministers, Stefanie Hubig (SPD), on Friday.
“We are also ready to do our part,” said the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of Education at the end of a two-day video conference with her counterparts.
However, she rejected the idea of extending the Christmas holidays.
Instead, schools should switch back to distance learning before and after the holidays if necessary.
A change from face-to-face and distance learning is also possible.
It is important that the restrictions for the schools are kept as short as possible.
For younger students, emergency care must be organized again if face-to-face teaching is to be completely discontinued.
The conference did not take a formal decision on imminent restrictions in the Corona crisis.
The ministers of education would of course support the decisions of the minister-presidents' round.
