Mainz (dpa / lrs) - The Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) does not see any easing of the lockdown yet.

"Unfortunately, the numbers are still ambiguous because of the Christmas days," said the SPD politician on Tuesday to the German Press Agency in Mainz with a view to the new corona infections.

“It takes more time before we can think about easing.

What is certain is that there will be restrictions even after January 10th. "

On January 5, she and the other heads of government of the federal states as well as Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) will discuss how to proceed, among other things on the basis of the current number of infections and the occupancy of the intensive care beds.

She was "very happy that we were able to successfully start vaccinations in old people's and nursing homes last Sunday," said Dreyer.

More and more people could be vaccinated every day.

"That gives reason for hope and confidence."

With a view to the upcoming turn of the year, Dreyer asked the citizens “warmly in terms of their personal responsibility: Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Avoid contacts as much as possible ».

The guideline “I protect you and you protect me” also applies at the turn of the year, “so that we can all get into the year 2021 healthy”.
