Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - In Saxony-Anhalt, all districts are to adopt stricter corona rules, which continue to have an above-average number of new infections.
All circles with more than 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per week would have to act much more ambitiously, said Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) on Tuesday evening after hours of consultation with his federal and state colleagues.
It is crucial that strict rules are not relaxed after slight improvements.
The measures would have to be persevered, “even if the spit gets long”.
In Saxony-Anhalt, half of the 14 districts and urban districts currently exceed the 200 limit.
Strict rules such as radius of movement or curfews already apply there.
The federal and state governments had previously discussed in a long video conference how the corona infection process can finally be contained to a manageable level despite winter weather and after months of strict restrictions.
The background to this are also reports of mutations that spread much more quickly in neighboring European countries.

The heads of government agreed to extend the current restrictions with numerous closing orders for the cultural, gastronomic, service and leisure sectors until February 14th.
Schools and daycare centers remain in emergency operation.
In the future, masks that provide better protection against infection will have to be worn for shopping and journeys in public transport.
Specifically, it is mandatory to wear surgical masks or protective masks of filter class FFP2.
