Dresden (dpa / sn) - The country leaders want to coordinate with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) today about how to proceed in the corona pandemic.

They also seek advice from scientists, such as Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) on Monday when he visited the Covid-19 intensive care unit at the Dresden Clinic.

He thought an extension of the lockdown in Free State until February 14th was conceivable.

At the same time, he spoke out in favor of a step-by-step plan of possible easing by Easter.

But everything depends on the course of the pandemic and whether corona mutations are spreading more and more in Germany.

According to the words of the Saxon Health Minister Petra Köpping (SPD), there should be a great unity between the resolutions of the Prime Minister's Conference, the Federal Chancellor and the implementation in the federal states. Saxony currently has measures that other states have not yet introduced, such as the curfew from 10 p.m. or the 15-kilometer radius in the vicinity of the residential address. If there were new things, they would discuss them with each other, said the minister.
