FDP leader Christian Lindner has criticized the nightly exit restrictions proposed by the federal government as "disproportionate".

It is a "too sharp restriction of freedom", said Lindner in the talk "Bild Live".

Nobody should support the current risk of corona mutations.

However, the situation in the hospitals is "not yet threatening".

Due to the sharp rise in the number of corona infections, a draft resolution from the Chancellery for the federal-state round this Monday is based on an extension of the lockdown until April 18.

In addition, the emergency brake regulation decided at the beginning of March must be "implemented consistently".

The draft also contains a passage which, because of the exponential growth, provides for further tightening (“additional measures”) for districts with more than 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week.

The entire passage is in square brackets, which means that it has to be negotiated because it is particularly controversial.

Among other things, there is talk of a nocturnal exit restriction until 5:00 am, “unless there are serious reasons to the contrary”.

The starting time is left open here.

The original is dated on Sunday 5.30 p.m.

On Monday afternoon, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) will advise the Prime Ministers of the federal states about the next steps in the corona policy.

SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach praised the attempt to extend the lockdown - "no ifs and buts".

Without these measures it would amount to an "incidence of 200" in the second half of April.

As a result, the number of deaths would "at least double".
