Coburg (dpa / lby) - The Lord Mayor of the north Bavarian Corona hotspot Coburg, Dominik Sauerteig (SPD), has criticized the crisis management of the federal and state governments.

The specifications of the Bavarian state government from Munich often come at very short notice, the coordination between the federal government and the federal states as well as the neighboring federal states among themselves is insufficient, he told the “Coburger Tageblatt” (Saturday).

In addition, all the city's measures would have to be coordinated with the surrounding district of Coburg.

"Unfortunately that doesn't always work," said Sourdough.

After an agreement with information from clinics, nursing homes, the police, disaster control and others has taken place, the municipality gives, for example, the draft of a general decree to Munich.

"And then the wait begins," said Sourdough.

Fighting the pandemic will not succeed if “a patchwork of different regulations exists,” said Sourdough.

The Free State should adopt more binding measures, also together with neighboring federal states.

"And especially for the world of work and not just for private life," emphasized Sauerteig in the newspaper's interview.
