For demonstrations in Berlin with more than 100 participants, a mask requirement will apply in the future.

However, there should be exceptions, for example for Corsican cars and emos bikes. Under the previous infection protection ordinance in Berlin, demonstrators were not required to wear mouth and nose protection.

This mask requirement applies, for example, on buses and trains or in retail and, from the beginning of the new school year, also in school buildings, but not during lessons. The Senate discussed the issue on Tuesday after there were several demonstrations in Berlin against Corona’s policy over the weekend.

According to authorities estimates, a total of about 38,000 people took part in protests against the Corona measures in Berlin on Saturday. The Berlin authorities actually wanted to ban the gatherings, but they were subject to court.

As a reason for the prohibition order, the police had pointed out that the gathering of tens of thousands of people, often without a mask or distance, represented too high a health risk for the population. This was already demonstrated by the demonstration against the Crown policy on August 1 in Berlin, during which most of the protesters consciously ignored hygiene rules.

Berlin Interior Senator Andreas Geisel (SPD) had already announced on Monday that he would be in favor of mandatory masks for demonstrations.

Tighter crown rules in the gastro

From this Wednesday, in Berlin restaurants, stricter rules will apply for the possible search for contacts due to the corona pandemic. The obligation to record guest data will apply in the future not only to the interior of the restaurants, but also to the exterior spaces. The Senate decided on Tuesday. Furthermore, the amended Corona regulation also takes guests into account: they are now required to provide complete and truthful information. Otherwise, there is a risk of a fine of between 50 and 500 euros.

The data collection is intended to help inform guests if it turns out that someone in the restaurants was infected with the corona virus. Health Senator Delek Kalayci (SPD) said this was a problem “in which we see a lot of neglect.” Now he hopes that visitors will no longer enter their names like “Mickey Mouse” in documents. Innkeepers should pay more attention to it.
