Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) and Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn exchanged views on the current corona situation at a meeting in Berlin.
This Monday, the heads of government of the federal states with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) will once again discuss how to deal with the omicron wave.
“Today I spoke briefly to Oliver Kahn about football and Corona. The conversation was very pleasant and exciting for me,” Lauterbach tweeted on Sunday. “Nevertheless, I’m still not an FC Bayern fan,” wrote the Minister of Health in the tweet.
Lauterbach did not say anything specific about the content of the conversation with the Bayern boss. But there should be another exchange: “The second leg is agreed.”
The meeting took place a few hours before the Bundesliga game between leaders FC Bayern and Hertha BSC in the Berlin Olympic Stadium (5.30 p.m. / DAZN and here in the BZ ticker).
Initially, there was no information from Bayern Munich.
