Hamburg (dpa) - Hamburg's Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) currently sees no need to bring forward the deliberations of the heads of government of the federal and state governments on the corona situation planned for next Monday.

Tschentscher had already spoken out in the past against a patchwork quilt and in favor of uniform national rules to combat the pandemic, which would then have to be implemented consistently, said his spokesman Marcel Schweitzer on Tuesday when asked about a move by North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet ( CDU).

He brought a so-called "bridge lockdown" into play.

"If there is agreement among the federal states about what you want to do, then you could prefer the MPK (Prime Minister's Conference)," said Schweitzer.

So far, however, there have been no concrete proposals for Laschet's lockdown model.

“In this respect, the next Prime Minister's Conference on April 12 should be well prepared from the point of view of the First Mayor.

In addition, the Senate expects the federal government - in particular the Federal Chancellery - to present by then how it intends to make the so-called obligation to offer rapid tests for employees in companies more binding for employers. "

Interior Senator Andy Grote (SPD) pointed out that Hamburg had already implemented very strict measures with exit restrictions and further tightening.

"It would be of great help if what Hamburg is doing now were to become more widespread in Germany."

This is by no means true for all federal states, "not even for that from which proposals are now being made."
