Munich (dpa / lby) - Bavaria's new Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek can also imagine new production facilities for the corona vaccine in Bavaria.

"If Biontech defines what requirements they have for such locations, we are immediately available and are also ready to help," said the CSU politician, who has been a frontline minister in the fight against the corona pandemic since Friday stands.

Holetschek emphasized that he had long been convinced that the pharmaceutical industry is one of the most important leading economic sectors and that more production is good for Germany, also for medical reasons. There are already some pharmaceutical clusters in the Free State, so he can well imagine that Bavaria is also a good location for expanding capacities in corona vaccine production.
