Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) expects an extension of the lockdown.

«The expectation that everything will end next week with the lockdown has to be taken away from people - I think.

We will have to hold out for a long time, »said Laschet on Wednesday in Düsseldorf.

«The death rate has reached an absolute high today.

From this point of view, I consider it almost impossible that in a few days we would have numbers that enable anything other than an extension of the lockdown, ”said Laschet.

«My expectation: the lockdown will continue.

The hospitals are at the limit of their capacity. "
