Large wedding celebrations will no longer be possible at NRW. Prime Minister Armin Laschet announced it today. In addition, there should be uniform rules for all municipalities.
Fewer people in a confined space, uniform rules for all municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia – these are the main points of the measures that the state government wants to take to combat the corona pandemic. As Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) announced today after a special cabinet session, in view of the increasing number of infections, it is important to take joint action before winter. Then, these should be applied to all hotspots in the country, that is, to municipalities or districts in which there were more than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week.
Important events are canceled
Specifically: The number of people in such a risk zone who come from different homes and want to meet in a public space will be halved from 10 to 5 in the future. Events with more than 500 people outdoors and 250 indoors are canceled; large-scale pub visits are no longer possible. Also, the mask should not be put in place.
Laschet: “You have to make sacrifices”
Celebrations in public spaces should generally be limited to 50 people; therefore, large wedding celebrations with hundreds of guests are taboo. If you live in a risk zone, only 25 people are allowed.
This rule will apply regardless of the number of cases and will be introduced with the new Crown Protection Ordinance, which will take effect from November 1. If you live in a risk zone, only 25 people are allowed. “It is important to keep public life, schools and day care centers open,” Laschet said, “you have to make sacrifices.”
In addition, there should be more testing in nursing homes and for the elderly, from doctors to visitors. From an incidence of 35, for which Laschet, all residents of the affected municipality should take the test. “The first thing to do is protect old people’s homes, old people’s homes, workshops for the disabled, as well as nurses and doctors. That is the absolute priority,” said the Prime Minister at the current time.
Laschet wants national rules
Next Wednesday, the Prime Ministers will meet again with the Chancellor to discuss the situation. Laschet wants to work to ensure there are more uniform national rules “so that people understand this.” He was referring, among other things, to the fine that can already be imposed. “Anyone who breaks the rules will be penalized.”
In NRW a possible accommodation ban is avoided, as in Bavaria. Even if the country’s Coron Protection Ordinance states it, the ban will not be triggered. “If many places in Germany are risk areas, the question of who can travel from where to where is actually of secondary importance,” said the prime minister of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Laschet made an urgent appeal to all citizens and especially to young people among them: “It is a solidarity duty of young people as well, not only to think about themselves,” he said. “Many have become too frivolous.”
