According to the BZ information, everyone should be encouraged to “minimize physical social contact with other people outside their own home to the absolute minimum necessary.”

And: “You should only leave your home for important reasons.” Everyone should also be encouraged not to travel. All this without exception.

To compare the federal-state decision. It says here: All citizens are still called, all avoid unnecessary contact Y if possible Stay at home. Also avoid all professional and private trips that are not absolutely necessary, especially tourist trips abroad (…). (…)

No rest for Christmas

Another crucial difference: the relaxation of the contact restrictions agreed by the federal and state governments for private meetings during Christmas and New Year’s Eve should not apply in Berlin.

The Senate agreed to this on Thursday according to information from the German Press Agency. In Berlin, the Corona hotspot, there could be no such relief, according to Senate circles. Consequently, a maximum of five people should be allowed to gather for private meetings in Berlin during the holidays, plus children.
