Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) has massively criticized the federal government for removing Mallorca from the list of risk areas and lifting the travel warning.
"This is now not the time to travel," said Laschet early Tuesday morning in Düsseldorf after almost twelve hours of federal-state consultations.
Because cross-border travel in particular carries the risk that even more dangerous coronavirus variants than the British mutant could spread in Germany.
The lifting of the travel warning for Mallorca also led to many discussions in the federal-state talks, because "there is an unequal treatment here with German tourist resorts," said the CDU federal chairman.
You could have "saved yourself" that if you had waited until after Easter.
But now many people would meet on Mallorca.
He expects the federal government to ensure that the airlines are obliged to test the Mallorca returnees before they take off from the island and that the vacationers will not bring the virus back to North Rhine-Westphalia.
Transport Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) had taken precautions and talked to the managing directors of the large NRW airports in order to “prepare modalities for tests even after landing,” said Laschet.
"And they will do that too."
