Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - The extension of the partial lockdown until January 10th provides "clarity and planning security" in the opinion of NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU).
“The number of infections in North Rhine-Westphalia is falling, but they are still too high.
If we all stay cautious, there is a good chance of a better new year in 2021, ”said Laschet on Wednesday evening after the consultations with the other country leaders and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) at the request of the German Press Agency.
The measures in the fight against Corona should apply in all countries by January 10, explained Laschet and emphasized: "The unity of the federal government and the states is an important signal."
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania reserves the right not to continue the currently applicable partial lockdown until January 10th. The MV summit on December 15 will decide on this, said Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) on Wednesday evening in Schwerin.
