Lower Saxony wants to reopen gastronomy
In Lower Saxony, catering should reopen next week. Restaurants, restaurants, and breweries must be accessible to guests with a maximum of half the seats. Prime Minister Bernd Althusmann announced.
Lower Saxony leads Germany’s five-step plan to open up public life. Gastronomy is slated to start again on May 11, and hotels will reopen on May 25. Meanwhile, such approaches are causing displeasure in other federal states.
DThe Lower Saxony state government has presented a five-stage plan that describes the gradual opening of the state during the Corona crisis. While some areas may already reopen starting next week under certain conditions, other sectors may not return to normal again until the end of May, or even have to remain completely closed.
Under the plan unveiled Monday in Hannover, the catering business should start again on May 11: Restaurants, pubs, cafes and breweries should be able to open both indoors and outdoors with a maximum occupancy of 50 percent.
The hotel industry is slated to resume operations on May 25. With a maximum occupancy of 50 percent and additional requirements, hotels, guest houses, and youth hostels should be able to open.
Starting May 11, vacation homes and apartments must be rented with a maximum occupancy of 50 percent. The time has come, Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) said. Schoolchildren in Lower Saxony should also be able to return to school regardless of age starting May 25, announced Minister of Culture Grant Hendrik Tonne (SPD).

The state government does not want to re-evaluate the restriction of private contacts to two people until the end of May. The two-person rule must remain until at least May 24.
Weil said contact restrictions are particularly restrictive but also particularly effective in stopping the spread of the virus. Therefore, bars or clubs should remain closed until further notice.
On the other hand, Weil can imagine a continuation of the Bundesliga in private. In this regard, “he has no lasting concerns,” even if the attraction of ghost games is manageable for him as a fan, the SPD politician said. The Bundesliga has prepared special precautionary measures, and some of the participants are concerned about the economic existence, Weil emphasized. Federal and state governments want to discuss the continuation of the league on Wednesday.
The step-by-step plan for Lower Saxony should finally be decided after federal and state consultations on Wednesday.
“A little unhappy,” says Söder
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) almost simultaneously criticized the plight of individual federal states to loosen measures against the crown. He was “a little unhappy” because some countries were already going beyond what was agreed between the federal and state governments last week, the CSU president said at a news conference Monday after a visit to Roche’s development lab in Penzberg, Upper Bavaria.
Saxony-Anhalt had recently caused a sensation. There, a new ordinance went into effect on Monday night, with which the country is leading the country in relaxing the strict crown restrictions. The people of Saxon-Anhalt can now spend about five outside their home.
Söder said it was time for gradual relief. However, caution and prudence remain crucial. “We should not stumble on the successes we have.” He was in favor of longer-term planning, after deciding shortly after the infection situation developed and regionally differentiating it.
