secondAnd, in view of the dramatically growing number of corona infections, countries only want to allow members of their own household and another household with up to ten people to stay together in public.
This is binding, violations of these contact restrictions would be sanctioned by the regulatory authorities, the German Press Agency learned on Wednesday from the consultations between Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and the prime ministers of the federal states. Groups of people celebrating in public places, apartments and private facilities are unacceptable in view of the dire situation.

Schools and kindergartens should reliably stay open in November despite the sharp rise in crown numbers. Restaurant establishments, on the other hand, should close as of November 2 for the rest 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.
Also, professional sports should only be allowed in November without spectators. This also applies to the Bundesliga.
Wholesale and retail trade will remain open in November. Merkel and the prime minister agreed, according to information from dpa, that there can be no more than one customer for every ten square meters in stores. The federal government’s draft resolution originally spoke of 25 square meters.
After the evening’s deliberations, Merkel will brief the leaders of the parliamentary group in the Bundestag on the decisions. This was announced by the deputy government spokesperson Martina Fietz in Berlin. On Thursday morning, Merkel will make a government statement on the crown crisis in the Bundestag.
Partial block of a month: measures in detail
The goal of the federal and state governments is “to quickly disrupt the dynamics of infection so that far-reaching restrictions are not necessary during the holiday season.” “Families and friends should be able to get together during the Christmas season even in Corona conditions. This now requires a joint effort, as it did in the spring,” says the draft that WELT has before us.
A powerful lock should be applied until the end of the month. After two weeks, the federal and state governments want to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures. The goal: to reduce the incidence from seven days to less than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants to ensure that health authorities can follow up those infected.
Hotel closures
Tourist overnight stays in Germany will be banned for most of November. Consequently, nightly deals should only be allowed for necessary purposes. As in the first wave, citizens must refrain from traveling and visiting relatives.
Bars and restaurants
Catering establishments such as bars, clubs, discos, pubs and similar establishments must close at the end of November, except for the delivery and collection of food for consumption at home. Canteens should be allowed to remain open.
Recreational facilities and professional sports
The federal and state governments want to heavily ban events serving entertainment and leisure throughout Germany in November. Theaters, operas and concert halls should close from November 2 until the end of the month. The regulation also affects leisure and amateur sports, so individual sports are excluded. Professional sport should only be allowed without spectators. This also applies to the Bundesliga.
Schools, kindergartens and shops must remain open
Schools and kindergartens must be kept open safely. Wholesale and retail trade will remain open in November. Merkel and the prime ministers agreed, however, that there can be no more than one customer for every ten square meters in stores. The federal government’s draft resolution originally spoke of 25 square meters.
Contact restrictions
In Germany, only members of your own household and members of another household should be able to stay together in public. This is binding; violations of these contact restrictions would be sanctioned by the regulatory authorities, according to the draft of the federal resolution. Groups of people celebrating in public places, apartments and private facilities are unacceptable in view of the dire situation.
Cosmetic studios, massage practices and tattoo studios
Due to the worsening crisis of the crown, the federal government wants to close businesses in the field of personal care, such as cosmetic studios, massage practices or tattoo studios for three and a half weeks in November. Hairdressing salons remain open under existing hygiene requirements. Medically necessary treatments, such as physical therapy, should also remain possible.
Industry, crafts and medium-sized companies
Faced with the restrictions, the federal government wants to extend aid to companies and improve the conditions of the economic sectors mainly affected, such as the cultural and events industry. In addition, the express loan of the state banking group KfW for companies with less than ten employees will be opened and adjusted.
Industry, commerce and midsize companies should be able to work safely and comprehensively, he said. Employers have a special responsibility to their employees to protect them from infection and identify chains of infection quickly. Whenever possible, home work should be possible.
risk groups
Sick people, people in need of care, the elderly and the disabled should be given special protection. The available rapid corona tests “should now be used quickly and with priority in this area” so that safe contacts are possible.
The special protection of hospitals, nursing homes, facilities for the elderly and facilities for the disabled should not lead to complete social isolation. Unfortunately, the growing number of infections also led to an increase in infections in medical facilities and in these risk groups.
