Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - The FDP is calling for the ban on accommodation to be lifted in North Rhine-Westphalia by Pentecost at the latest and for campsites to be reopened.

It should not be conveyed that tourism will be ramped up again in Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, just not in North Rhine-Westphalia, said FDP parliamentary group leader Christof Rasche of the “Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung” (Friday edition).

The current Corona Protection Ordinance in North Rhine-Westphalia is still valid until May 14th and must therefore be re-regulated in the coming week.

The small government partner in the CDU / FDP coalition is aiming for numerous easing.

The Liberals want the green light for outdoor restaurants, swimming pools, fitness studios, theaters, cinemas and amusement parks with hygiene concepts in municipalities with a weekly incidence of less than 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants.

Sports with contact outdoors and without contact in the hall should also be permitted again in such municipalities, according to the FDP's ideas.

North Rhine-Westphalia Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) was extremely reserved this week about relaxation requests.

"When I look at the numbers in the hospitals, my head is not particularly open to openings."

He said that he said on Wednesday that he thought easing in tourism “is not right at the moment”.
