Hamburg / Saarbrücken (dpa) - Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU) spoke out against far-reaching easing before the federal-state conference on the corona lockdown.

"We should remain restrictive," said Hans to the "Spiegel" (Tuesday).

"We are already in the third wave, this is a new pandemic within the pandemic."

As slowly as the vaccination curve increases, you also have to keep the curve of new infections flat.

"For me, the following applies: Without tests, you can only enable what is absolutely necessary."

Hans spoke out in favor of more and more targeted vaccinations in his federal state, because the South African virus mutation is widespread in the neighboring French region.

"We should speed up the vaccination rate in those German border regions in which there are infestations from neighboring countries."

The affected federal states or regions should then receive more vaccine from the federal government.

"Where there are high outbreaks, we should vaccinate more and more specifically."

Hans turned against requests to


disband the

priority groups for the Astrazeneca vaccine

.

"Astrazeneca is highly effective."

Breaking up the vaccination sequence could lead to “vaccination chaos”.

He would be vaccinated with Astrazeneca, said the 43-year-old: “Yes, I would.

But only when it's my turn. "
