Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - Saxony-Anhalt's state government will only decide in the coming days whether and how the range of motion in the state will be restricted to 15 kilometers around the place of residence due to the tense Corona situation.
"We have to see how we do it in practice," said Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday evening in Magdeburg.
The cabinet will examine whether, in addition to the prevailing infection situation at the place of origin, those at the destination can also be used for such restrictions.
The goal must be to actually exclude all avoidable activities.
The federal and state governments had previously agreed that people from districts in which there are more than 200 proven cases of infection per 100,000 inhabitants within one week (7-day incidence) may move a maximum of 15 kilometers around their place of residence .
Exceptions are compelling reasons, especially the way to work.
Tourist excursions, on the other hand, are explicitly not a valid reason to leave the radius.
In the past few days, winter sports resorts had experienced a rush of visitors with overcrowded parking lots and garbage chaos.
In the Harz, the police and regulatory authorities had to repeatedly block parking spaces and access roads to limit the gathering of people.

If the movement radius of 15 kilometers only applies to districts with a 7-day incidence of more than 200, then according to the current status, it would not apply to the residents of six of the 14 regions in Saxony-Anhalt.
For example, people from Magdeburg and the Bördekreis could continue to drive to the Harz Mountains.
However, precisely such cases should be excluded, emphasized Haseloff.
Clarity should be there by the end of the week.
Then the cabinet wants to have passed the new regulation.
She has to.
The current rules only apply until January 10th.
