The Nuremberg city health department has registered 2,577 Nuremberg residents infected with the corona virus as of 12:30 pm today. That’s an increase of 63 cases compared to the day before. With the incidence of seven days per 100,000 inhabitants, the value has exceeded the limit of 50 with 51.9 new infections in the last seven days. Therefore, the city of Nuremberg has ordered new protection measures against infection based on the requirements of the Bavarian state government.
Outdoor mask requirement, curfew, and alcohol ban
For example, in many areas of the city center of Nuremberg tomorrow it will be mandatory to wear a mask outdoors. The city had already announced it in a virtual press conference. The axes from the Kaiserburg to the main market and pedestrian zones are affected. The exact location information is published on a map on the website of the city of Nuremberg.
Masks should also be worn in class in all public buildings, in meeting and traffic areas such as elevators or dining rooms, or in schools and educational institutions. This also applies to spectators of sporting and cultural events, meetings, congresses and trade shows throughout the duration of the visit. There will also be a curfew and the prohibition of alcohol in the city from 10:00 pm Gas stations can no longer sell alcohol after 10 pm
Meetings with a maximum of five people, excluding family
Also, a maximum of five people is allowed to meet in two homes. “The joint stay in public space is allowed in the entire city area up to a maximum of five people as well as with members of the own household, spouses, civil partners, couples in a civil society, relatives in a straight line (such as children with their parents or grandparents), siblings and relatives at most one more house, “says the message.
While Mayor King had discussed the fact that 25 people were allowed indoors and 50 people outdoors in private celebrations, the message now states that private celebrations and contacts are also limited to two households or a maximum of five people.
“The situation is very serious, the figures are very serious.” Marcus König, Mayor of Nuremberg
It is regrettable, König said, that the federal government has not specified a uniform procedure. But stick to the guidelines of the Free State.
Consumenta and Christkindlesmarkt are not safe
As for the Consumenta consumer fair: this should start next week on Saturday 24th October. Whether it stays that way will be decided early in the week. In a written statement, the organizers of the exhibition Henning and Thilo Könicke of the organizing AFAG emphasize that they are in constant direct contact with the city. The trade fair concept was developed for this situation, all the recently adopted measures of the Bavarian Crown strategy are already part of the implementation concept, he continues.
Regarding the Christkindlesmarkt, Mayor König said that the market is being planned. With the increase in the crown number, it is certainly more difficult. With current measures, one expects better numbers. Currently, planning is not interrupted, all events are re-evaluated from week to week.
Twice as many patients with a crown at the Nuremberg clinic
Meanwhile, the Nuremberg hospital has doubled the number of corona in normal wards, König said. They sat down to make plans for the next few days. You don’t have to panic, but you must be consistent now.
“The goal is to keep schools open for as long as possible.” Marcus König, Mayor of Nuremberg
Bundeswehr helps at the Nuremberg health department
To maintain the efficiency of the administration, the city will also increase its offices from Monday. Starting Monday, 20 people from the Bundeswehr will work in the health department. Retired doctors and pensioners from the municipal administration were also asked. It is important that Nuremberg can perform well in the crisis, König said.
