Before the conference of federal and state health ministers this Tuesday, there are further discussions about the planned changes to the Infection Protection Act.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's head of government, Manuela Schwesig (SPD), called for a prime ministers' conference on the subject on Monday so that there could be a uniform approach by the federal states and coordination with Berlin on the application of the new corona rules.
"But I think it is necessary for the heads of government to discuss this," Schwesig told the editorial network Germany.
After all, the amendment must also pass the Federal Council.

Criticism of the new regulation also comes from the ranks of the traffic light coalition.
After the compromise between his party colleague and Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann and Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD), the Vice President of the Bundestag and Deputy FDP Party Chairman Wolfgang Kubicki said that the point of a possible mask requirement outdoors was unclear to him.
"Will not find a majority"
The FDP MP Frank Schäffler complained that being able to introduce nationwide hotspot rules was a step backwards.
He described the possible mask requirement in schools as a nuisance.
The liberal member of parliament Christoph Hoffmann was certain "that the Infection Protection Act will not find a majority in its current form".
The FDP MP Stephan Thomae and parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr defended the agreement against it.
The Free Democrats would have prevented lockdowns, curfews, school closures and contact restrictions, Dürr told the “Welt”.
Thomae called the steps effective and reasonable.
The CDU health politician Erwin Rüddel, on the other hand, called the plans on Deutschlandfunk a “wrong path”.
A basic immunization was achieved in the summer, which is why a “relatively relaxed” autumn and winter can be expected.
Lauterbach unsettles the population, and the FDP participates in this "panic mode".
