Ramelow expresses reservations about potential modifications in infection control legislation
The Minister President of Thuringia, Bodo Ramelow, has expressed skepticism about the Union's plans to change the Infection Protection Act to create nationwide uniform corona regulations. According to Ramelow, a change to the Act may not be necessary, and he questions the feasibility or advisability of such a change.
Since February, the Minister Presidents' Conference has requested a nationwide valid set of rules for coronavirus regulations. This request was reiterated in March and included in the resolution text. However, as of now, the Federal Chancellery has not submitted a draft for the nationwide rules.
Ramelow suggests that a tiered and framework plan can be built on the current Infection Protection Act. He is waiting for the submission from the Chancellery, which he believes should have been done by March. Ramelow also clarified that he does not deal with rumors and has no knowledge of a planning project for changing the Infection Protection Act.
It is worth noting that the Thuringian state government has not been informed about any such planning project. The exact current status of these plans and the Minister Presidents’ Conference decision cannot be determined from the available search results.
For the most recent precise details on this topic, it would require consulting up-to-date news sources or official statements from the Thuringia state government or the German federal government on the Infection Protection Act and related negotiations as of August 2025.
