Germany's Günther defends implemented domestic travel regulations
Schleswig-Holstein Minister-President Defends New Rules for Overnight Stays from COVID-19 Risk Areas
Schleswig-Holstein Minister-President Daniel Günther has defended the new rules for overnight stays by guests from COVID-19 risk areas, stating that they provide more clarity and uniformity across broad parts. The new rules make an overnight ban applicable if a negative COVID-19 test is not presented.
In a recent statement, Günther finds the regulations reasonable, stating that travelers can still go on vacation in Schleswig-Holstein or other federal states, but must meet the prerequisite of a negative test. He also mentioned that at least eleven federal states are already involved, and he hopes more will join.
One of the reasons Schleswig-Holstein agreed to the regulations is that Berlin is now enforcing tough regulations. Günther goes on to say that the new regulations call on states to take action where hotspots occur to bring numbers down. However, he did not mention any specific states taking action where hotspots occur.
A photo of Daniel Günther was included in the statement, as mentioned by dts Nachrichtenagentur. It is unclear which of the other ten federal states implementing the rules have decided to join the new regulations, as they have not been explicitly named in the given search results.
Despite the new rules, there are no new challenges or concerns related to their implementation. The paragraph does not provide any new information about the prerequisite of a negative test for travelers or any changes in the regulations due to Berlin enforcing tough regulations.
Günther emphasised that the new rules are necessary to ensure the safety of the people of Schleswig-Holstein and other federal states, and that travelers can still enjoy their vacations while adhering to the necessary precautions. He also expressed his hope that more federal states will join in the effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all.
