Erfurt (dpa / th) - A possible restriction of the movement radius of the Thuringians to 15 kilometers around their place of residence meets with resistance.

Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) had proposed such a regulation, which already exists in Saxony to contain the corona infections.

The Thuringian CDU spoke of a "place of residence arrest", which they reject.

"It is nonsensical in medical, political and social terms," ​​said CDU Secretary General Christian Herrgott on Monday in Erfurt.

Criticism also came from the FDP parliamentary group, which, like the CDU, sits on the opposition bench in the state parliament.

With Finance Minister Heike Taubert (SPD), one member of the government expressed skepticism.

Good control of winter sports activities is better than a restriction, wrote Taubert in the short message service Twitter.

Ramelow had proposed the adoption of the Saxon 15-kilometer rule as a reaction to the run on the Thuringian winter sports areas last weekend.

It is unclear whether it will ultimately be included in the next Thuringian Corona regulation, which, according to Ramelow, will be discussed on Tuesday and published on January 8th.

After a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Ramelow announced that Thuringia would extend the lockdown until January 31 and tighten it in some places.

After the federal-state talks this Tuesday, the Thuringian government wants to discuss details.

Among other things, it is currently being discussed to move the winter holidays from February to the end of January and thus to the time of the lockdwon.
