SedanAfter country heads consulted with Chancellor Angela Merkel, Governing Mayor Michael Müller (SPD), Economic Affairs Senator Ramona Pop (Greens) and Culture Senator Klaus Lederer (left) reported on Corona’s new measures for Berlin on Tuesday evening at a press conference.
Due to the recent increase in the number of infections, in Berlin there will be mandatory masks in office and administration buildings. Regulation should not work when working at the desk.
For private celebrations in Berlin, there will be a maximum limit of 25 people inside and 50 people outside. In addition, there is an obligation to maintain a contact tracking list of a limit of ten people. In doing so, the Berlin Senate goes beyond the decisions made by the federal and state governments: they do not establish any limitation for private outdoor celebrations, but only a limit of 50 participants for celebrations in public spaces. The upper limit for private celebrations is not a recommendation, but a regulation with fines, Pop warned.
The new regulation will be published in the Official Gazette on Friday. It will go into effect on Saturday.
Regarding infections at private parties, Müller said: “Berlin does not play a special role here, but in the context of infection processes in large cities we have comparable occurrences here.”
Recently, the number of new infections in Berlin, as in the rest of Germany, rose comparatively sharply and alarmed politicians. For every 100,000 residents, 28.9 people were verifiably infected with the coronavirus in seven days (through Tuesday). This value, which is important to assess the infection rate, is higher in the capital than in any other federal state; However, comparing a densely populated metropolis with large-scale states is only possible to a limited extent.
These are the new crown rules for Brandenburg
Also in Brandenburg, stricter rules should apply for celebrations in case of a sharp increase in crown numbers. Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) announced Tuesday a maximum limit of 50 people for public spaces and 25 for private spaces if there are more than 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days; there are currently about five in the country. With the upper limit, Brandenburg follows the decision of the federal and state governments on Tuesday. Lower regional values could also be set, Woidke said. The cabinet will discuss this in the next week.
For private celebrations in the house, in the apartment or in the garden, there is currently a general upper limit of 75 participants in Brandenburg. For large events, an upper limit of 1000 people is established in closed rooms, but the number of guests is decisive in accordance with hygiene regulations and distance according to the size of the room.
