Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) – The Hessian Prime Minister Boris Rhein (CDU) has called for prudence in the debate about further easing of the corona rules. “We want to grant as much freedom as possible in connection with the Corona rules,” said Rhein of the German Press Agency in Wiesbaden. “We look very closely at the proportionality of the measures.” This also applies to the obligation to wear masks on buses and trains.
“We are monitoring the situation and then deciding how to continue to deal with the mask requirement,” said the head of government. At the moment, public transport is still subject to the obligation to wear a mask. He considers this measure to be a relatively minor encroachment on personal rights. However, the situation must continue to be monitored and then reacted accordingly.
As a citizen of Frankfurt, he also rides the subway and the bus, reports the Prime Minister. “The crowds are often so big on buses and trains that I would wear a mask myself, even if there were no obligation.” The state government is currently not planning any further corona measures, apart from the obligation to wear a mask in public transport.
