According to the dpa news agency, there are the following resolutions:

  • Contacts: Only members of two households can meet in public, a maximum of ten people.

  • Catering establishments must close as of November 2 for the remainder of the month. This does not apply to the delivery and collection of food for consumption at home; dining rooms should be allowed to remain open.

  • Services: Cosmetic studios, massage practices and tattoo studios must be closed because the minimum distance cannot be maintained here. Medically necessary treatments, for example performed by a physical therapist, are still possible. The hairdressing salons also remain open.

  • Supermarkets: Retail remains open, but there are regulations on how many customers can be in the store at the same time.

  • Schools and kindergartens must remain open.

According to information from SPIEGEL, Merkel calculated in the videoconference that if there was no reduction in contacts, there would be 28,000 infections per day in a week.
