Prime Minister for uniform regulation to combat corona
The heads of government of the countries have spoken out in favor of continuing joint action in combating the corona pandemic. The background to this was the announcement by Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn that the current epidemic emergency of national scope would expire at the end of November. But there must be a new guideline for this, said NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet: “The federal states have made it clear that we need a mechanism, we need a regulation, we need a secure legal basis so that low-threshold basic protection measures in the coming autumn and winter months are also needed are possible. If each country has to determine this itself, it will lead to distortions. This nationwide regulation must be created by November 25, said Laschet. Much had been achieved in the pandemic, said the Governing Mayor of Berlin, Michael Müller. These successes should not be jeopardized prematurely. “Especially against this background. Because we have sometimes sold this success painfully with our measures, we were very much in agreement today that we should not take any risk that now, when the pandemic situation expires, we will suddenly find legal bases for any measures that may be required miss.” Now there are several options, said Müller. From an extension of the current situation to a transitional arrangement and a special resolution on measures that the federal states could implement.
