More and more people are getting infected with the corona virus. The federal and state governments have now agreed to new rules. Its main objective is the celebrations. These are the results of the meeting.
The federal and state governments are reacting to the growing crown numbers in Germany with stricter guidelines for celebrations and higher fines for incorrect information. In a video link, Chancellor Angela Merkel and federal state prime ministers rejected further easing for the time being Tuesday afternoon. After the deliberations, the Chancellor shared the results with the Prime Minister of Bavaria, Markus Söder, and the First Mayor of Hamburg, Peter Tschentscher. You can see excerpts from the press conference in the video or above here. Decisions in detail:
- Celebrate in public or rented rooms should open maximum 50 participants be restricted. This applies if more than 35 new infections occur per 100,000 inhabitants in a district within seven days, Bavarian Prime Minister Söder said.
- In private rooms therefore, there should be no regulations on the number of participants. However, it is highly recommended in private rooms. no celebration with more than 25 participants perform.
- From a contagion rate of more than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, the celebrations must take place in public or rented rooms be limited to 25. In this case, it is strongly recommended for private rooms. no celebrations with more than ten participants perform.
- Incorrect information in restaurants and other posadas will be fined at least 50 euros can be punished. Merkel said “it was not a trivial crime.” The federal states regulate the details. Schleswig-Holstein, for example, wants to charge up to 1,000 euros.
“We learned a lot and we had a good summer,” the Chancellor said after the change. But now the number of new infections has risen again, which is worrying for the fall and winter. This can be countered with the right measures. A new closure should definitely be avoided. The primary goal of the federal government is to keep the economy running, schools and day care centers must be “absolutely up and running.” Therefore, regional and local outbreaks will be responded to in a specific way.
To enforce the measures, the willingness of citizens to follow the rules is needed so that the epidemic does not spread further, Merkel said. She called on citizens to add two more letters to the current “AHA” formula – keep your distance, hygiene and everyday masks – in the cold season: “C” for Corona warning application and “L” for ventilation. The Chancellor advised against vacation trips to risk areas. You can also go on vacation to Germany. “There are also areas in Europe that are not risk areas. For example, we still have a comparatively low risk of infection in Italy.”
Söder: “A philosophy, a set of rules, a strategy”
Prime Minister Söder praised the unity among the country’s leaders, which was often lacking in previous consultations. Now he has “a philosophy, a set of rules, a strategy,” Söder said. In the future, there will be a kind of traffic light with different signals and alert levels that will determine how, above certain threshold values, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants should react in seven days. “More mask, less alcohol and smaller celebrations” – that’s the “basic triad,” Söder explained.
However, this change was not entirely without differences. The Chancellor’s proposal to limit celebrations in private rooms to a specific number of participants failed due to resistance from some countries. According to information from the German Press Agency, the head of government of Hesse, Volker Bouffier (CDU), and the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer (SPD), faced each other. So in the end, it was just a matter of recommendations.
