Corona: Back to Alert Level I

Sissi Mattis (AStA)

On Wednesday, January 26, 2022, Minister President Winfried Kretschmann announced Baden-Württemberg's return to the phased plan. However, caution is still advised. Omicron runs on average milder than Delta , but is at the same time much more contagious. For this reason, some measures have been adapted in alert level I.

"Now we are making a number of readjustments in the regulation - without abandoning our line of caution and prudence," Kretschmann announced.
