New rules for travelers in risk areas in MV
Due to the sharp increase in the crown number, even in Berlin, the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has changed the crown regulations in an urgent procedure. Consequently, those who work in regions that have been declared risk zones due to the increase in new infections can continue to work there without restrictions. The Interior Minister, Lorenz Caffier (CDU), announced it late at night after an extraordinary cabinet meeting that was organized on short notice. This is intended to limit the negative consequences of the recent increase in infections, especially for travelers and employees in the transport sector. Shopping trips and tourist visits in risk areas are not included in the new regulations. Such trips would still result in a 14-day quarantine, Caffier said. The comparatively strict entry restrictions for tourists to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have not been relaxed. The new regulations went into effect immediately. The deciding factor for the evening minister change conference was that in Berlin on Thursday the number of new infections reported per 100,000 residents had risen to 52.8 for the entire city in the past seven days. The 50 mark is a key criterion for assessing the status of the crown.
