With partial closure looming, Schleswig-Holstein is serious. Since a national tourist accommodation ban will be enforced in early November, tourists in northern Germany have to travel home and only have a few days to do so.
Tourists must leave Schleswig-Holstein no later than November 2. For vacationers on the North Sea and Halligen islands, a November 5 deadline applies due to capacities in ferry traffic and in car trains, the state government in Kiel said. This is intended to straighten outbound traffic.
The government referred to the latest federal-state resolutions for a partial lockdown, which begins on November 2 and is expected to last four weeks. The Prime Minister’s Conference decided last Wednesday that “overnight stays in Germany will only be available for necessary and expressly non-tourist purposes.” For Schleswig-Holstein, therefore, with some exceptions, no further accommodation services will be offered in hotels, pensions and holiday apartments for the next four weeks.
A government spokesperson explained that accommodation for professional or socio-ethical reasons (such as a funeral or terminal care), as well as for medical purposes, such as accompanying children during a hospital stay, is still allowed. A state ordinance will regulate the details of containment measures. It should be prepared before Sunday and then published. “The new regulation will go into effect on Monday,” he said.
