Dresden (dpa / sn) - At Christmas there should be an exception to the tightened new corona protection ordinance in Saxony.

"Then more people from the family and among friends can meet," said Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) on Friday in Dresden.

Nevertheless, it would be good if the question was not asked, "What is allowed, but what do I do, what I don't do."

If things don't work out, "in the end all that remains is a lockdown," warned Kretschner.

That means "a real curfew", the closure of all businesses except for the critical infrastructure, all shops, daycare centers and schools.

The aim is to avoid what is already happening in other countries.

"To do this, the numbers have to go down."

For church services at Christmas, there must be a sophisticated hygiene concept that visitors adhere to. "We have great confidence in the churches," said Health Minister Petra Köpping (SPD). That singing is not possible is an interference.
