What does this mean for the regions?
In principle, that federal states and perhaps even districts can impose measures in addition to the measures that apply to their respective classification of traffic lights. However, relaxation is not possible. How far the possibilities of the federal states should go could not be answered by the Ministry of Health on Friday upon request. In practice, the situation could be very confusing for citizens if different rules are applied in each region.
Why is the corona traffic light needed?
“The stoplight is a simplified attempt to translate the risk assessment,” Anschober stressed on Friday. However, the national measures that have now been implemented make targeting even more difficult. Because the planned mask requirement in retail and event restrictions are actually measures that would only have been applied from the orange light (high risk). Meanwhile, the Corona traffic light website has also been changed. The chapters on what measures apply to what color have been switched off. All of this rekindles the political debate about the usefulness of the traffic light.
