Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - Are there any stricter curfews and an FFP2 mask requirement in rail traffic?

The heads of government from the federal and state levels are discussing today at a video conference (2 p.m.) how the fight against the corona pandemic should be continued.

Even before the talks, it became apparent that the partial lockdown could be extended beyond the end of January.

Following the deliberations, Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) wants to inform Wiesbaden about what the Hessians can expect.

The state government's Corona cabinet is due to meet on Wednesday.

According to government spokesman Steffen Seibert, the federal government is striving for faster corona containment - also in the face of new, probably more contagious virus variants. It must be about getting to a manageable level of infection numbers much faster, said Seibert on Monday in Berlin.
