Lüneburg (dpa / lni) - Before the Bund-Länder round on Wednesday, the President of the Lower Saxony City Council, Ulrich Mädge, wanted regional leeway in decisions.

A renewed extension of the lockdown is probably inevitable.

"But I would very much like it if the step-by-step plans for exiting the lockdown are an issue at the same time, Prime Minister Stephan Weil has already made a proposal," said Mädge of the German press agency.

“Because what we all need are clear perspectives, especially for operations in daycare centers and schools.

In addition, the Lord Mayor of Lüneburg advocates looking at the necessary restrictions in addition to the legal, regional, social and pragmatic glasses of the municipalities: “The local conditions are different, we have to be able to react to that to a certain extent both in terms of tightening and easing. "

The federal states should always take advantage of the down-to-earth attitude of their cities and municipalities.

“Then maybe we can reach pragmatic solutions more quickly in one point or another, which make it easier for people to withstand the basic lockdown for as long as necessary.

I am thinking, for example, of solutions for hairdressers like in Austria or of the fact that, for example, gardeners should have the opportunity to sell the plants that have to be put in the ground before Easter, ”emphasized the SPD politician.

At the beginning of the week, after a six-week lockdown, all shops and hairdressers, schools and museums in Austria were reopened.

Wearing a particularly protective FFP2 mask is mandatory almost everywhere.

In the meantime, the state government in Hanover initiated some minor easing before the federal-state consultations.

A draft of the new Corona regulation, which is available to the German Press Agency, provides that children belonging to the household up to the age of six are no longer covered by the contact restriction.

So far, this exception only applies to children up to three years of age.

In addition, garden centers and car dealers should be allowed to reopen, but the latter only for test drives.

According to the draft, the new regulation will come into force on February 13 and apply until February 28.

However, it has not yet been decided - changes are still possible.
