The
federal-state consultations
planned for Monday
on measures to contain the corona pandemic have been
canceled
.
There will be no prime ministerial conference with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) next week, said the deputy government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer on Friday in Berlin.
The federal and state governments want to
change
the
Infection
Protection Act in order to create uniform nationwide regulations in the fight against the corona pandemic.
They wanted to create a regulation for the procedure in the event of a seven-day incidence of more than 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, said Demmer.
According to WELT information, the change provides that
night-time
exit restrictions
for the respective federal state are prescribed
from an
incidence of 100
.
The schools are therefore on a seven-day incidence of
200
in
distance learning
change.
"To be implemented as soon as possible"

The federal and state governments are now concerned with implementing the envisaged new regulation "as quickly as possible," the deputy government spokeswoman continued.
The draft law to amend the Infection Protection Act should already be passed on Tuesday at an early cabinet meeting.
The procedure was coordinated with the coalition factions in the Bundestag.
With the other parliamentary groups in the Bundestag, the federal government will “seek dialogue” on the planned procedure.
Demmer emphasized the great agreement between the federal and state governments.
They “worked very closely together here,” she said.
“Everyone involved is on board”.
Intensive care physician disappointed with rejection
Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) also called for a nationwide regulation, since there are apparently completely wrong assessments of the situation among the Prime Minister.
Both Spahn and the President of the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler, warned that Germany was in a dire situation.
The intensive care units would continue to fill in the coming weeks, said Wieler.
The number of infections had to be reduced significantly, they had been deceptive in the past few days.

Health Minister Spahn expressly excluded North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) and his Bavarian colleague Markus Söder (CSU), who both had called for a short hard lockdown.
You have to shut down "two or three weeks" in a lockdown to push the incidence numbers below 100.
The situation reminds him of October 2020, when some countries also did not recognize the seriousness of the situation, said Spahn.
Germany's intensive care physicians meanwhile expressed their disappointment with the cancellation of the corona summit by the federal and state governments.
"This is a disappointing new situation," said Gernot Marx, President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and Emergency Medicine (Divi), on Friday.
He can only hope that alternative political decisions will be made in a timely manner instead.
The Divi had previously called for an immediate hard lockdown of two to three weeks to reduce the number of new infections in the pandemic.
The situation in the clinics is deeply worrying, said Gernot Marx, President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, during a press conference on Friday.
"It's burning.
The situation is very dire.
Every day counts."
