Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Despite the significantly increased number of corona cases, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann does not want to return to the mask requirement for the time being. "The Minister of Health is of the opinion that the peak has been exceeded," said the Green politician on Tuesday in Stuttgart, referring to Minister of Health Manne Lucha (Greens) and the number of cases. "We're not making a new regulation for the time being. But it's in the drawer." If the situation changes, you can react if necessary. But: "First of all, we won't do it."
A nationwide mask requirement is currently only in long-distance trains and buses, clinics, medical practices and care facilities. In addition, countries can introduce them indoors if needed. In view of the increasing incidences, there are repeated calls for a return to wearing masks indoors.
