Potsdam (dpa) - The President of the Conference of Ministers of Education (KMK), Britta Ernst (SPD), considers the nationwide uniform rules for schools to be closed when there are high numbers of corona infections to be appropriate.
“We are in a third wave that is causing us great concern.
Now a federal law is used to come to a uniform regulation, ”said the Brandenburg education minister on Wednesday of the German press agency in Potsdam.
“It's not like this is done without the federal states having a say.
The Federal Council meets and also decides on this on Thursday.
I think that we are responding appropriately to the third wave. "
The Bundestag wanted to decide on the nationwide uniform rules on Wednesday, the Bundesrat is on Thursday.
With the amended Infection Protection Act, binding nationwide rules for stricter measures against the coronavirus should apply.
The emergency brake with exit restrictions and stricter regulations for shops should apply if the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a district or a city is over 100 for three consecutive days within a week.
Schools should close again from the value of 165 - then distance learning is the order of the day.
The states that are responsible for schools in Germany have so far regulated this differently.
