Government – Dresden – Kretschmer: Corona easing from February 15 conceivable – Politics

Dresden (dpa / sn) – Saxony’s Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) is confident that if the corona numbers continue to fall, there can be easing from mid-February. But you can’t start all the easing at once because there would be too much mobility, he said on Friday evening in an online forum on the situation in Saxony. At times around 800 people connected to it via Zoom, Facebook and Youtube. In retrospect, every week lockdown would have been better earlier, Kretschmer admitted.

The head of government had been criticized for engaging in talks with deniers of the corona pandemic and other critics of restrictions. Kretschmer countered that he knew that some people could not be reached. But he wants to use every opportunity to explain decisions.
