The Rhineland-Palatinate state government is tightening measures against the spread of the corona pandemic. “More mask and definitely less party,” Dreyer said after the meeting in Berlin.

Dreyer: “More mask, less party”

“We view the infection process with great concern,” Dreyer said. The threshold is exceeded in many places. If the people of the health authorities no longer discover in time that they have been infected, the virus will no longer be able to slow down properly. Now it is absolutely important to support the health authorities. The federal states and the federal government have clearly agreed to the following rule: “More mask and definitely less party.”






“Breaking chains of infection”

Dreyer appealed to the population to re-break the chains of infection and consistently comply with the AHA rules. In addition, there would be constant ventilation in autumn-winter. This was successful in spring. “The huge momentum that we currently have is worrying,” Dreyer said. “Neither society nor the economy can afford a second blockade.”

Agreement on uniform regulation

Dreyer was glad that uniform rules were found yesterday at the Berlin meeting. In light of the tense crown situation, the federal and state governments agreed to numerous new crown measures Wednesday night. These include a requirement for an extended mask, a curfew at hotspots and a limitation on the number of guests at celebrations – this was what Rhineland-Palatinate was requesting in particular. If there are 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a week, a curfew should be applied from 11 pm to the catering business. So a maximum of ten people can meet in the public space.

“We will immediately adopt the measures decided yesterday in the Rhineland-Palatinate action plan,” Dreyer said.

Discussion on the accommodation ban

The housing ban was also hotly discussed yesterday, Dreyer said. However, it will not be implemented because most federal states have found the instrument to be unsuitable. In the case of the accommodation ban, one wants to look forward to the experiences of the fall holidays, which were already underway. The issue should be discussed again at the next meeting in two weeks. Dreyer called on citizens living in hotspots to voluntarily refrain from traveling for the time being. Dreyer stressed that people in high-risk areas where the incidence value is 50 are urged not to travel unless urgently needed.

Fewer participants in private parties

Dreyer had previously advocated limiting the number of participants at private parties. Furthermore, Rhineland-Palatinate had suspended the initially agreed nationwide ban on accommodation after there had been strong criticism of the provision within the state, but also in other federal states.
