Suhl (dpa / th) - Because of suspected corona cases and the care of their children, there are many craftsmen missing, as the South Thuringian Chamber of Crafts announced on Monday.

That endangers the ability of the company to work, it said.

Childcare must remain guaranteed, demanded Managing Director Manuela Glühmann.

«Skilled workers are currently needed more than ever in their job to help help their craft business through the Corona crisis.

It cannot be that caring for the children will then be on their shoulders like in the spring lockdown, ”said Glühmann.

However, there are also voices who are critical of the continued presence of schools and daycare centers.

For example, the district council said that there was also a shortage of staff at schools, as many teachers would have to be quarantined due to suspected corona cases.

So far, depending on the infection situation of individual facilities on site, it has usually been decided in Thuringia whether daycare centers and schools are completely closed or certain measures are taken.

On Wednesday, the Prime Ministers want to talk to Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) about how to proceed in the pandemic.
