Kretschmer wants to significantly expand corona tests – even with smaller children


Test centers in every community

The CDU politician would therefore like to set up a corona test center in every Saxon community. This is the only way to ensure safe contact. In addition, a basic understanding of the need for regular testing must be established in the population. According to Kretschmer, this is “the only option we have now”.

And that is what I will now say very clearly at the Prime Minister’s Conference. We Saxons are working on it. This is the way for Germany to have more freedom over the next few weeks and months.

Meanwhile, according to Kretschmer, the Free State is working on procuring a large number of rapid tests. In this way, it should be ensured for kindergartens and schools that all educators, teachers and children, including the little ones, can be tested. “It’s not that easy, but we won’t be spared that,” said Kretschmer.

No further easing

Kretschmer also announced further restrictions from March 22 for regions with incidence values ​​above the 100 limit. This also included school closings. “Unfortunately, things will not continue in some districts from next Monday and the time until the Easter holidays will be used to analyze the matter.” The decision will be made on Thursday, said Kretschmer.

He warned against pushing the limits aside or increasing them to 200 or 300. He made a special appeal to the mayors and district administrators who “have really worked against it over the past few weeks.” Kretschmer therefore met on Wednesday morning for a video conference with around 50 local politicians from the Ore Mountains.
