There are still just under seven weeks until Easter.

In a normal year, it would be high time to book a vacation.

But even in the midst of the pandemic, the demand for holiday apartments in Germany, Austria, the Balearic Islands and Croatia is already high, industry services report.

But these travel plans run counter to warnings from politicians.

Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) sees no chance for travel and tourism in the next few weeks.

He was in favor of speaking truths, he said in an interview with “Bild am Sonntag”: Easter holidays in Germany “unfortunately cannot be this year”.

Too much mobility in April is poison.

"We would destroy everything that we have achieved since mid-December," continues Kretschmer.

A return to normality like in autumn would also lead to an explosion in the number of infections like in November and December.

“The result would be a hard lockdown like in spring.

We absolutely have to avoid that. "

So nothing with egg hunt on Mallorca, at the Chiemsee or in the Ore Mountains?
