Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther has rejected an attempt by his counterparts Markus Söder (CSU / Bavaria) and Winfried Kretschmann (Greens / Baden-Württemberg) for a tougher Corona course.
"In the north there is trade, in the south letters are written," said the CDU politician on Wednesday in Kiel.
"We have already introduced regular tests as a prerequisite for participating in face-to-face lessons after the holidays, Messrs. Söder and Kretschmann want to talk about them."
It is now not the time for showmanship, but for consistent and responsible action, said Günther.
"The colleagues shouldn't lose their nerve now, but rather implement the agreed rules in their own countries."
He responded to a joint letter from Söder and Kretschmann to the heads of government of the other 14 countries.
Both call for a strict anti-corona policy with a consistent implementation of the emergency brake in hotspots, including night exit restrictions.

They also advocate compulsory corona testing in schools after the Easter holidays.
Schleswig-Holstein announced this obligation on Wednesday.
The north has the lowest corona incidence in Germany.
“The third wave has been rolling relentlessly across the country for several weeks.
The situation is serious, more serious than many believe, ”says the letter from Söders and Kretschmann, which is available to the German Press Agency.
The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" had previously reported on it.
"Supported by a unified spirit, it is now important to implement the emergency brake consistently without further deliberation or hesitation," says the letter.
"This includes night-time exit restrictions and adequate contact restrictions if the incidence is over 100 as well as a consistent FFP2 mask requirement and tests."
