The city is also considering postponing the start of “Fall in the City”. As of Thursday, 40 showmen should have the opportunity to carry out their activities in central places like the Römer. Health chief Stefan Majer (Die Grünen) announced that the “hygiene detention” would have to continue until Thursday.

Incident 50 is exceeded
Since the so-called incidence value in the city, that is, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days, has approached the limit value of 50, the city, the health department and the planning staff Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs have agreed to stricter measures. “The message is relatively simple and clear: Corona is still there and Corona is still dangerous,” Mayor Feldmann said at a news conference at the Frankfurt fire department. “We are just before the red climbing level. Some of the measures we decide on today are tough. A lot of people will buy it first, and that wasn’t easy for us either. ” The objective is to avoid a general blockage through the measures.
“We are not getting popular with it, but there is no other way,” said Feldmann, who announced a conference with ten of Germany’s largest cities for Friday to coordinate measures. “The latest increase forces us to take measures that clearly intervene in the lives of citizens,” said Feldmann.
The head of the health department, Majer, referred to an infection event “that will probably take us over the threshold of 50 tomorrow.” With this incidence value, the so-called red escalation level is applied, which requires more stringent measures. But Majer also stressed that all regulation is not enough.
“There is no measure in the world that produces this U-turn,” Majer said. Instead, it depends on the common sense of each individual. “I hope that the people of Frankfurt go with them.” In this context, Majer also appealed to people to take protective measures seriously and use proper mouth and nose protection to prevent the spread of the virus. “Chin visors are not an infection control measure. If someone wears a chin visor, they are not wearing anything.” This is a cosmetic accessory, ”said the green politician. Therefore, the city will appeal to major employers to comply with the rules.
“We take the pandemic seriously. There is no doubt, ”said René Gottschalk, head of the health department, who a few days ago caused a stir with a contribution to the discussion in which he questioned the spread of the virus through aerosols. “The catalog of measures serves to protect the vulnerable group.”
