In the opinion of Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder, the ongoing criticism of the corona strategy from the federal and state governments endangers the acceptance of the population, which is important for success.

"Anyone who deliberately dissuades these concepts can at least be confronted with the question of whether they are encouraging the population to participate or doing the opposite," said the CSU chief after a cabinet meeting in Munich.

The new Corona concept, decided on Wednesday after hours of consultation, provides for more relaxation, but at the same time relies on the personal responsibility of the people .

The federal and state governments agreed on Wednesday to extend the lockdown in Germany to March 28, given the continued high number of infections.

However, there should be many opening options depending on the infection situation.

In addition to appointment shopping offers in retail, according to the resolutions of the federal-state switchboard, museums, galleries, zoos, botanical gardens and memorials should then be allowed to open to visitors who book an appointment.
