Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) supports the call for a lockdown to reduce the number of corona infections and calls for a uniform approach by the federal states.
"That is why every demand for a short, uniform lockdown is correct," said the deputy government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer on Wednesday in Berlin when asked whether the Chancellor accepted the proposal by North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) for a "bridge lockdown" supported.
The infection numbers are not reliable because of the Easter days.
A “common, nationwide approach would be right here,” said Demmer.
It is about joint action.
“The variety of the rules that have been adopted does not contribute to security and acceptance at the moment,” she said.
At the same time, the federal government rejected Laschet's demand for an early Prime Minister's conference.
There is "obviously no majority," said Demmer.
The heads of government want to consult again on Monday.
The infection numbers are not reliable because of the Easter days.
The growing number of occupied intensive care beds speaks a clear language.
“We need a stable incidence below 100,” she said, referring to the number of cases over seven days per 100,000 population.
Better be 50, ideal would be under 30.

Laschet had called for a "bridge lockdown" on Easter Monday.
He named a period of two to three weeks with tougher corona protective measures until the nationwide incidence falls below the target of 100.
On Wednesday, the Robert Koch Institute reported an incidence of 110.1, but pointed out that much data was not reported over the Easter days.
Demmer said the database on new infections is currently not good.
But the number of intensive care beds occupied speaks a clear language.
It climbs too much and way too fast.
