Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The Baden-Württemberg hospitality industry is opposed to proposals for an only gradual opening of hotels, restaurants and pubs that are currently closed due to corona in the coming weeks.

Instead, in the event of a loosening of the political guidelines, all businesses should be allowed to open, said the head of the Southwest branch association Dehoga, Fritz Engelhardt, the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” (Friday).

If in doubt, it would be better to wait a week or two to relax before you can then dare to start again with a clear conscience.

"If you change the Corona rules, all hotels should really be opened - and all areas in the hotels, including wellness oases, should then be accessible," he said.

This also applies to gastronomy.

There should not be a distinction between upscale dining and corner bars.

Most companies in the hospitality industry have been closed by government orders since the beginning of November to protect against infection.

The federal and state governments want to discuss how to proceed on Wednesday.

The focus is likely to be whether the current hard lockdown will be extended beyond February 14.
