Berlin (dpa) - Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer expects that the Prime Ministers of the federal states will discuss with the federal government next week about possible tightening of the corona lockdown.

“We will certainly talk to the Prime Minister and the Federal Government next week about what we can still do overall in Germany.

Completely shut down kindergartens, close schools, really entry bans in the nursing homes, if there is no negative rapid test - we have to discuss things like that, ”said the CDU politician on Thursday evening in the ZDF program“ maybrit illner ”.

Also a look at the local public transport (ÖPNV) is announced.

«The public transport, not so many people are allowed to ride.

From my point of view, that is the order of the day. "

The number of infections has not decreased as a result of the current lockdown "as we wanted it to and as we need it".

At this point, Kretschmer also referred to the virus mutations that have emerged, which are possibly much more contagious - and could thus further increase the number of infections.
