Erfurt (dpa / th) - In the coming week, the state parliament will deal with the Thuringian rules for the corona lockdown, which have been in force since January 10th.

Parliament will meet on January 20, said the President of the State Parliament Birgit Keller on Wednesday in Erfurt.

The AfD parliamentary group had called for the special session of the state parliament.

In addition, the Greens, the CDU and the FDP have requested some correction requests or specifications in the ordinance of the state government.

In mid-December, the state parliament asked the state government to involve members more closely in the decisions to contain the corona pandemic.

Last week, the government submitted the draft of its lockdown ordinance and the decisions of the Prime Minister's Conference with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) to the responsible committees and the Council of Elders.

The co-governing Greens want improvements to give children more contact opportunities.

According to the regulation, meetings beyond the members of the own household are only possible with one other person.

The Greens advocate that up to twelve years old children of the contact person be exempted from the restrictions.
