Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer considers an extension of the corona lockdown in the Free State to February 14th to be conceivable.

After a visit to the Dresden City Clinic, he spoke again on Monday in favor of a step-by-step plan until Easter.

“I don't think we have to re-sharpen a lot in Saxony.

We just have to consistently implement what we set out to do. "

Then you will also achieve lower infection numbers.

According to Kretschmer, the measures that Saxony took on December 14 are now having an effect.

"They are tough enough and pose a great deal to us all."

But the more consistent you are now, the sooner you get out of it.

A prerequisite for loosening is a low incidence, i.e. the number of new infections in a certain period of time.

In early January, Saxony extended the lockdown to February 7th.

Kretschmer did not want to commit himself on Monday and also mentioned February 14th: “Then we will talk about kindergarten and hairdressers, we will talk about trade with a delay.

We know that Easter is the date for the catering and hotel industry, ”he said literally.

On Tuesday there will be another consultation between the country leaders and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU).
