Munich (dpa) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has clearly rejected a comprehensive relaxation of the corona-related lockdown from mid-February.
With a view to the next federal-state consultations, he warned vehemently on Monday against a “precipitous relaxation competition” and a new patchwork of different regulations, even within individual states.
Mistakes have to be avoided.
"It's still about a lot of human lives."
At the next conference, probably on February 10, one will look at the current developments, said the CSU chairman in front of a video link of the party executive in Munich.
But Söder already added: "Anyone who expects that the large openings can then take place in a broader form - from my point of view that is currently not responsible."
Söder urged patience - also because the British virus mutation is increasingly being detected in this country.
"And if a hasty easing competition takes place, then we really face a serious setback," he warned.
If you open at a seven-day incidence of 90, you will be back to 150 within a very short time.
"Now is not the time to talk about major easing - it is better to be thorough, longer, consistent, but then with the greatest challenge", warned the Prime Minister.
If you open too much too early, the consequences would not be foreseeable.

“It really opens up bigger and wider when the time is right.
And the time is ripe for it when the incidences are correspondingly low, ”said Söder.
Specifically, he emphasized with a view to the previously targeted seven-day incidence of 50: "50 is also a good orientation - but not automatically the number at which you can do everything again as before."
Last year, Bavaria only relaxed more broadly when the incidence was below 10.
Söder also called for rules that were as uniform as possible, even within individual countries.
"We need the same, just and understandable rules for everyone."
There shouldn't be an "infinite patchwork quilt".
Different rules endangered the basic acceptance.
And if you think about openings or implement them, then school and daycare centers would have priority - with high precautionary measures such as tests.
