Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Before the next Corona switch from the federal and state governments on Wednesday, Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Health Manfred Lucha has decided against easing the lockdown.

“It would be fundamentally wrong to send out any signals to relax if we are not even close to the 50 mark in the incidence,” said the Green politician to the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” and the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” (Tuesday).

The so-called lockdown light at the beginning of November was also wrong.

The idea that you can test the virus away is misleading, says Lucha.

The goal of politics is to reduce the number of new infections nationwide to below 50 per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days - only then will the health authorities be able to trace all contact persons, it is said.

Lucha called for the restrictions to be accepted for a while: “The day before Christmas we were in the country with an incidence value of 204.5.

Today we are at 60. That did not fall from heaven, but the fruit of our joint efforts. "

The lockdown to contain the corona pandemic is currently limited to February 14th.

On Wednesday, the federal government and the federal states want to consult with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) on how to proceed.
