The number of infections continues to rise. That’s why the federal and state governments are negotiating again Tuesday on regulations to combat the pandemic. The first suggestions are already known.
In light of the persistently high number of corona infections, the federal government proposes an upper limit of 25 participants for celebrations in private rooms. In public spaces, the limit must be a maximum of 50 participants, according to a draft resolution of the federal government for the deliberations of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) with the Prime Minister this Tuesday, available to the German Press Agency In Berlin. First, the newspaper “Bild” reported on the figures. In general, the federal government proposes a regionally graduated procedure, without general measures.
In view of the number of infections, no further opening steps should currently be allowed, the document continues. Design details:
Rules for restaurants and serving alcohol
To allow correct follow-up of contacts, regulatory authorities must be able to prove wrongful personal information violations in restaurants with a minimum fine of 50 euros. According to the draft, the federal and state governments call on citizens to take responsibility. When visiting bars, restaurants and events, they must “support the rapid detection and containment of corona outbreaks” by providing correct and complete personal details and contact information.
In particularly affected regions, the federal government also wants to limit the amount of alcohol served under certain conditions. In order to minimize infections in gastronomy, “limited-time alcohol service bans would have to be issued” as the number of infections increases.
Limits for private parties
It is unclear whether the maximum amounts mentioned for private parts should only apply if certain limit values are broken for new infections. The draft says in brackets that the federal states would enact regulations on the number of participants in festivals if the number of 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a district is exceeded in seven days. This means that the critical number of new infections for this regulation has yet to be negotiated at the conference.

Determination of lower values by a state or municipality is still possible after draft. Exceptions may be made for celebrations announced with hygiene plans approved by the health department.
If more than 50 people per 100,000 inhabitants are infected in a district within 7 days, further action will be taken, the document continues. In particular, the number of participants should be further limited, according to the ideas of the federal government, to a maximum of 10 participants in private rooms and a maximum of 25 participants in public rooms.
Is the corona warning light approaching?
A crown warning light proposed by NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) and Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) is not expressly mentioned. It is said, however, that before the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants reaches 50, the federal states “would establish an adequate early warning system so as not to exceed this incidence as far as possible.”
Fever Clinics for Fall and Winter
In light of the increasing number of corona infections and the expected flu epidemic in the fall and winter, the federal government proposes the use of fever ambulances. The federal and state governments must quickly come up with a concept of how overload can be prevented, especially in hospitals and general practitioner practices. Such a concept should probe the possibilities of fever ambulances, specialist consultation hours and specialist practice. At the same time, particular risk groups should get vaccinated against seasonal flu as a precaution.
Formula AHA plus “L”
Especially in the cold season, two more letters should be added to the current “AHA” formula to maintain a safe distance, hygiene and daily masks: “C” for Corona warning application and “L” for ventilation. “Regular ventilation in all public and private spaces can significantly reduce the risk of infection,” he says.
Appeal to citizens
“In light of falling temperatures, the increased amount of time spent in closed rooms in the fall and winter, and the looming flu season, we must now take extra care,” says the draft warning. This is especially true in the realm of leisure activities and private celebrations, which have recently proven to be the main causes of regional contagion. The main objective of the measures should be to keep schools and day care centers running on site and not jeopardize the restart of the economy.
Chancellor warns of an increase in crown numbers
Merkel warned in a video conference of the CDU presidium on Monday, according to information from participants, of a significant increase in new corona infections in Germany. If they develop weekly, there will be 19,200 new infections a day by Christmas. The Chancellor had extrapolated it, he said.
Merkel and the prime ministers last discussed measures in the pandemic in late August. Even then, celebrations in private and family circles, which are considered one of the main causes of the increasing number of infections, caused concern. At the time, the federal and state governments were unable to agree on national upper limits for the number of participants.
Schwesig vs. Uniform Federal Regulations
The Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Manuela Schwesig (SPD), has spoken out against a national regulation for private celebrations. Everyday issues like the number of participants in family celebrations do not have to be regulated at the national level, Schwesig told “Nordkurier” on Monday. “I can understand that the southern and western states in particular see the need to act. However, MV remains the country with the lowest number of infections in Germany. As long as the number remains low, we can maintain the number of 75 participants. in family celebrations “.
