Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's Minister of Health has criticized the FFP2 mask requirement planned by the federal government on long-distance trains. Only a medical mask is necessary in local transport in Saxony, and this option must also be granted in long-distance transport, said Petra Köpping on Thursday MDR Aktuell.
The SPD politician also described the regulations for the citizen tests as too complicated. For a free test, you first have to prove that you want to visit a nursing home. However, she welcomed the fact that the federal states could react to the current situation themselves. Saxony will make bed occupancy in the intensive care units in the clinics the basis for tightened measures.
The federal government presented the draft for a new infection protection law on Wednesday.
