Bavaria’s Prime Minister Söder actually wanted to find out more about energy supply in Saudi Arabia, but a positive PCR test thwarted his plans. “Now, after two years, it still caught me,” he explains. That’s why he’s going into isolation now.
Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder has tested positive for the corona virus. He announced this himself on Twitter today. He therefore had to cancel a trip to the Gulf region planned for the coming days. “Now it got me after two years,” wrote Söder. In the run-up to his trip, a PCR test was positive on Saturday. “Although I had done rapid tests twice a day all week – always negative. The last one even this morning.”
In another tweet he wrote: “By the way, the value of the PCR test is such that infection has so far been extremely unlikely. Nevertheless, it is now time to isolate. Unfortunately, the trip abroad has therefore been cancelled.” Actually, Söder would have wanted to go on a trip to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
At least since the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, energy supply has been the big issue for Söder. “Our great concern is that energy deliveries by the federal government will only be planned via northern Germany in the future,” he emphasized before the weekend. This threatens to shift economic prosperity.
Söder: Hotspot regulation is “lukewarm measure”
“That’s why we also need southern hydrogen and gas pipelines. Not only Wilhelmshaven, but also Trieste (Italy). That’s why it’s a promising journey for Bavaria’s energy security up to 2030,” emphasized the Prime Minister.
With regard to the failure of the general obligation to vaccinate, the CSU leader has also asked the federal government for a new plan to combat corona. “The Federal Minister of Health must now present an autumn concept on how Germany can be protected from new corona setbacks,” said the Bavarian Prime Minister to the newspapers of the Funke media group. “We can now only hope that no bad virus variant will come in the fall.” The hotspot regulation is “a lukewarm measure” and offers no protection against a new mutation, he criticized. “We are defenseless for the fall.”
