Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - NRW health minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) expects the federal-state consultations on Wednesday “by and large” with an extension of the partial lockdown in Germany.
"That is also the correct answer," said the minister on Tuesday morning at WDR5.
A "huge dynamic" in the corona cases is no longer there for the time being.
“But the numbers are just too high.
We just have to be patient now. "
With a view to the Christmas holidays, Laumann expressed himself cautiously hopeful: If families were limited to "the utmost" and behaved cautiously, it would "not lead to major infections," said the minister.
The Prime Minister of the federal states and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) will discuss how to proceed in the Corona crisis on Wednesday. The country chiefs agreed on Monday evening that the measures, which were limited to the end of November, should initially be continued nationwide until December 20, as the German press agency had learned from participants. The extension is almost certain.
