Munich – In view of the great danger posed by Omikron, Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) is urgently calling for the federal government to restore the epidemic emergency of national importance. There is no need for regional measures here, but a uniform national framework, said Söder on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting in Munich, shortly before the federal-state round on the corona crisis in the afternoon. Only the restoration of the epidemic emergency gives the opportunity to quickly decide on the necessary steps in case of doubt. “Everything else is such a mess.”
Söder criticized the draft resolution for the Bund-Länder group that had been presented so far “only partially covers the dimension of a possible challenge”. On the other hand, he warned against hectic or panic. With a view to Christmas, Söder said: “There will be no restrictions at Christmas.” However, the Omikron variant is causing concern – that there is no wave, but a wall approaching the country. However, no exponential growth can be seen yet. “Nevertheless, the intention is to be extremely cautious.” One should not stumble into danger inadvertently. After the federal-state round in the afternoon, Söder initially expects small, fundamental changes for Bavaria – but adjustments would then be implemented. Otherwise, the Bavarian corona strategy will now be largely adopted nationally. Whether that is enough is unclear. (dpa)
