Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - In view of a slightly falling seven-day incidence in Baden-Württemberg, the state government is giving hope that beer gardens or hotel areas will be open during the Whitsun holidays and in less polluted regions.

He could imagine that this would be possible on Pentecost in cities and districts where corona infection numbers were low on several consecutive days, said Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens).

“The risk of infection is 20 times lower outdoors.

If you combine that again with a corresponding test strategy, with the presentation of the vaccination card when you are fully vaccinated, then you can already take steps in this direction, ”he said on Tuesday in Stuttgart.

If counties and regions had a seven-day incidence below 100 on five days, there could be opportunities for outdoor catering, retail and the hotel industry, said Health Minister Manne Lucha (Greens). In addition, other models like those in Tübingen should be investigated. "If that works for 14 days and the incidence drops, then we will try to incorporate more areas and then open them further," said Lucha. The prerequisite is always a decrease in the incidence with simultaneous opening.

The number of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week has recently fallen both nationwide and in Baden-Württemberg.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (as of 5:08 a.m.), the incidence on Tuesday was 141.4, in Baden-Württemberg, according to the State Health Office, it was 173.1 (as of Monday, 4:00 p.m.).
