After the decision to go ahead with a tough shutdown, the number of cities and towns where people can only leave their homes for compelling reasons is expected to increase. In the decision of the group made up of the Chancellor and the heads of country on Sunday, it says: In regions with more than 200 new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week, “extensive exit restrictions” should be considered. This relationship is known as the seven-day incidence.
For example, the rules stipulate that you cannot pick up food from a restaurant after 8 pm. Outdoor sports are also prohibited. If you want to visit your partner who lives elsewhere, you must respect the closing hours at night when you start your trip at home and not at work. However, walking a dog is still possible throughout the day.
In Saxony, as of Monday, you can only shop within a 15-kilometer radius from where you live. Sports are also only possible in this limited area. There is a curfew from 10 pm to 6 am “Everyone who then moves down the street can be approached and they have to explain themselves,” said Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU). Brandenburg is also planning a nightly curfew starting in the middle of the week.
According to the RKI, the 7-day incidence in Saxony is currently 349. This is the highest value for a federal state. They are followed by Thuringia (231), Bavaria (200), Berlin (187) and Baden-Württemberg (180). The municipality with the highest incidence in 7 days is the district of Regen in Bavaria (605), followed by the Saxon districts of Bautzen (574), Görlitz (510) and Erzgebirgskreis (506).
The harsh closure of the fight against the corona virus begins at the national level on December 16. Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) said that the partial blockade that has been in place since early November “was not enough.” Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder said: “Corona has gotten out of control.” (Read a summary of the resolutions here).
