Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) wants to explain today (10.00) in the state parliament how Baden-Württemberg wants to implement the opening decisions of the federal and state governments.

The central question is whether the lockdown should be relaxed at the district level or only nationwide.

The deliberations in the green-black coalition continued on Thursday evening.

The Green politician said: "This also includes the question of how we deal with the regions and the impending danger of shopping tourism if one region opens and the neighboring regions are still available."

The decision of the federal and state governments for regional easing includes the possibility of coupling openings to the state-wide incidence or of proceeding according to urban and rural districts.

The Baden-Wuerttemberg County Association had previously expressed criticism of openings by district.

It is feared that an "alternate traffic" will begin in circles with greater relaxation.

However, should there be a nationwide solution, further quick openings would probably not be possible for the time being.

Because: The number of new infections with the virus per 100,000 inhabitants within a week in the southwest has risen again in the past few days - also because of the virus variants.

The most recent seven-day incidence was 54.4.

Neighbor Bavaria has opted for a step-by-step plan at the municipal level.

If the incidence is stable below 50, more easing is possible, for example for schools, trade, culture or sport.

If it is above 100, an emergency brake applies, which again puts a hard lockdown into effect.
