Munich (dpa) - Despite the currently unclear prospects in the Corona crisis due to virus mutations, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder still sees opportunities for an Easter holiday this year.
«Easter is still completely open.
The Easter holiday will be decided in the next three weeks, ”said the CSU chief on Friday after a video conference with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and 96 Bavarian local politicians.
Whoever rushes it now, “puts the Easter holiday at risk more than someone who now takes things a little slower”.
This could be better assessed at the federal and state conference on March 3rd.
Germany is currently in a "highly sensitive phase" of the pandemic, said Söder.
It is a tightrope walk between worries and wishes.
It is shown that the number of infections is currently only falling slightly, but at the same time the proportion of detected infections with virus mutations is rising steeply.
Politicians should therefore not give in to “any short-term moods”, but must continue to proceed carefully, stressed Söder.
"We need an intelligent opening matrix, not a rigid step-by-step plan, but an opening matrix that offers a wide range of tools to react accordingly."
This explicitly includes the option of being able to react quickly even in the event of deterioration.

This also includes the possibility of regional differentiations if the respective infection numbers are clearly different.
In any case, intelligent control must prevent shopping tourism from occurring, with people from hotspots traveling to other municipalities.
In retail, opening concepts with small square meters per customer or appointments to customers are conceivable.
