Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) has again admitted errors in the Corona policy.

In retrospect, it would have been better to shut down the country much earlier, "even if that would certainly have resulted in a lot of incomprehension among the population".
It was only after visiting several clinics in Saxony on December 11 that he became aware of the drama, said Kretschmer: “I didn't realize that the staff in Aue had been working at the limit six weeks before my visit (...) I had I wish I had been warned earlier. "
