Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) has ruled out a significantly more severe lockdown in the Free State.

There will be no closure of operations and the cessation of local public transport, he said on Monday evening in the program “fact is” on MDR television.

A lockdown for the economy would ruin them.

The lower the incidence - the number of new infections within a week - the faster you can relax.

With a view to gastronomy and the hotel industry, one has to look at the period Easter or after.

"We are still a long way from what we have to achieve," said Kretschmer. But the drama does not increase any further. They want to loosen up and reopen daycare centers and schools. For this, however, the contact tracing must be possible. Kretschmer announced a tightening of the controls of corona rules: "We are no longer in the situation where we are asking for something."
