meOn Sunday evening, the Berlin police once again cleared James-Simon-Park in the Mitte district. There they had celebrated from 200 to 300 people, the neighbors had called the police because of the noise. The night before, the officers had ended an illegal party in the Spree Park. This is not an isolated case. At Weinbergspark in Mitte, the police sent 150 people home on Sunday night. The latest regulation that no more than 50 people can gather outside is simply being ignored by hundreds of young people in the capital. Berlin Interior Senator Andreas Geisel was outraged on Monday. Since Thursday, police have had to clear three parks of hundreds of “partiers” every night. All this was really “worrying”, the SPD politician told the RBB. The number of new infections is particularly high in the group of Berlin residents who are between 20 and 29 years old.
As Senator of the Interior, Geisel is obliged to enforce the rules of the crown in the capital. Health Minister Jens Spahn of the CDU criticized that this did not happen on Monday. I couldn’t understand that big parties are possible in Berlin and that there are restaurants where they look at you with a mask as if you were from the moon. “It is not by very few rules. It’s more a question of where the rules apply, ”said the Health Minister, criticizing Berlin’s laissez-faire policy.
One thing is for sure: Berlin has become a crown hotspot. The number of new infections in the capital has increased in recent days so that of the seven risk areas in Germany four are districts of Berlin, as the Robert Koch Institute announced on Monday. Therefore, the critical number of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants has exceeded that of the districts of Neukölln, Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Tempelhof-Schöneberg: in Neukölln the value of the so-called seven-day incidence was more than 87, 6, in Mitte it was 57.
The Flensburg Habeck can’t expect smoothness
Other federal states are now isolating themselves from Berlin. If you want to drive to Schleswig-Holstein from the four districts of Berlin, you must immediately go into quarantine for 14 days or show two negative corona tests within five days. Exceptions are only made for members of the Bundestag, the Landtag or the European Parliament or for members of the government – to “maintain the state function”. Green leader Robert Habeck, traveling between Flensburg and Berlin, cannot count on leniency because he is not a member of parliament or a member of a government. Rhineland-Palatinate has also designated Berlin’s districts as risk zones. So if you want to travel to the Baltic Sea or walk in the Eifel or Hunsrück during the autumn holidays in Berlin this month, you must be prepared for the difficulties. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has decided that it will remain open to all Berliners. According to the Ministry of Health, Berlin is still considered as a whole. And since the value of all of Berlin is still just under 40, so far no entry restrictions or quarantine have been imposed on returnees. Berlin itself sees it in the same way, it does not indicate risk areas by district. The density in the city is too high for it to make sense to identify risk areas within the city.
