Hanover (dpa / lni) - The municipal umbrella organizations have called on Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) to change the strategy of the corona policy.
The aim should be simple, clear, effective and controllable restrictions instead of a confusion of ordinances, it said on Wednesday in a joint letter from the county council, the city council and the city and municipality association.
The assessment is that contacts in the private sector and individual companies are the main drivers of the infections.
Therefore, this should be consistently started, but at the same time public life should be opened up again in parts.
In view of the increasing number of new infections, the leading associations suggested a night curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for a period of at least 14 days.
In addition, there should be more corona tests in companies that are particularly susceptible to infections.
In return, retailers, but also holiday apartments, restaurants, hotels, cultural institutions and sports facilities should be able to reopen with a limit on the number of people.
With a view of the curfew, restaurants should be allowed to be open until 8 p.m. at the latest.
Tourist overnight stays - especially with self-catering - should be allowed.
"We are convinced that the people and the local economy must be offered a perspective," said the President of the Association of Towns and Municipalities, Marco Trips.
"Otherwise the population's acceptance of the state measures threatens to crumble completely."
This is all the more true since, for example, the completely open food retail trade, which has been established with hygiene concepts, has not proven to be a pandemic driver.
