Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's Minister of Health Petra Köpping (SPD) sees the nerves of the population in the corona pandemic now overworked.
In response to the latest federal and state resolutions, many had expressed the opinion that they could almost no longer bear the measures, said Köpping on Wednesday in the state parliament.
On the other hand, there is also approval.
At the beginning of her speech, Köpping once again referred to the difficult situation in Saxony.
With a state-wide incidence value of 154.9 (seven-day incidence), there are only three regions in the Free State with a value below 100: the district of Bautzen and the cities of Leipzig and Dresden.
But not only the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days is cause for concern.
In the meantime, around 1200 hospital beds are again occupied with Covid 19 patients.
262 people are in the intensive care unit.
Younger people are increasingly being treated in hospitals.
The AfD once again did not have a good hair about the government's corona policy.
It is "characterized by scare tactics, arrogance and inability to correct errors".
When the decisions on Easter rest were corrected from Berlin during the ongoing debate, AfD parliamentary group leader Jörg Urban also knew a reason for this and blamed the protests from the population and business for the change of heart of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU).
"The lockdown's wooden hammer policy has already destroyed countless livelihoods and driven citizens into poverty," said Urban.

The left recommended a complete lockdown for two weeks in the debate: “If we really want to break the waves, then the country must completely retire for a full 14 days, which also extends to all branches of the economy that are not indispensable at this time », Said group leader Rico Gebhardt.
There must be an end to “subordinating everything to the economy”.
«We should all restrict ourselves further privately in order to break the third wave.
At the same time, the government continues to allow millions of people to go to work and meet each other every day. "
Minister of State Barbara Klepsch (CDU) gave an insight into the situation in the culture and tourism industry during the debate.
Both areas went through a "period of paralysis" in the corona pandemic.
"And they look to the future with a mixture of concern and optimism."
At the same time, she encouraged those affected.
As a cultural travel destination, the Free State has a good chance of inspiring new target groups after the crisis.
It is now the task of politics, together with the actors, to enable a new start after the crisis.
Together with the federal government, it has so far been possible to avoid major damage to the cultural infrastructure, said Klepsch.
The federal government provided more than a billion euros for the restart of culture.
How the second billion euros can now be used well for this purpose is currently still in the vote.
