In light of the rapidly increasing number of corona infections, the federal government is again planning massive restrictions. According to a draft submitted by ntv, bars, clubs, discos and pubs should close. The rules also need to be significantly toughened for contacts in public.
The federal government wants to control the growing number of corona infections with drastic contact restrictions. According to a draft of the draft resolution from the federal government, which ntv has received, these measures should take effect throughout Germany from 4 November and apply until the end of the month. The draft is the basis for a videoconference between Chancellor Angela Merkel and the prime ministers of the countries, which was scheduled for noon.
Therefore, the goal of the federal and state governments is “to quickly disrupt the dynamics of infection so that far-reaching restrictions are not required during the holiday season,” he says. “Families and friends should be able to get together during the Christmas season even in Corona conditions. This now requires a joint effort, just like in the spring.” If Germany copes well this winter, there is hope that the country will “gradually overcome the pandemic next year and also recover economically.”
Starting next Wednesday, catering establishments as well as bars, clubs, discos, pubs and similar establishments will be closed, with the exception of the delivery and collection of food for consumption at home. Furthermore, staying in public throughout Germany should only be allowed to members of your own household and of another household. “Citizens are encouraged to reduce contact with other people outside their own home to the minimum absolutely necessary,” the draft says.
No domestic trips, no cultural and sports activities.
Theaters, operas and concert halls will also close at the end of the month. In addition, the federal government wants to ban events that offer entertainment throughout Germany for most of November. According to the draft, the regulation also affects leisure and amateur sports in and in all public and private sports facilities, swimming pools and amusement pools, as well as gyms and similar facilities. They should also close fairs, cinemas and amusement parks, as well as places of prostitution, brothels and similar facilities.
The federal government also wants to ban offers of tourist accommodation in Germany for almost the entire month of November. Accommodation offers should only be made for the purposes necessary, according to the draft resolution proposal. This regulation must also apply from November 4 until the end of the month. The federal government wants to keep schools and kindergartens open. However, federal states should introduce more protection measures in these areas.
Retail and hair salons remain open
Businesses in the personal care field, such as cosmetic studios, massage practices or tattoo studios, will close for three and a half weeks in November, depending on the will of the federal government. Hair salons must remain open based on existing hygiene requirements. Medically necessary treatments, such as physical therapy, should also remain possible. According to the will of the federal government, retail can also remain open subject to certain conditions, provided that “the conditions relating to hygiene, access control and queue avoidance are met.”
The federal government particularly wants to protect risk groups such as the sick, those in need of care, the elderly, and the disabled. Available rapid corona tests “should now be used quickly and with priority in this area” so that safe contacts can be made possible, according to the proposed draft resolution. The special protection of hospitals, nursing homes, facilities for the elderly and facilities for the disabled should not lead to complete social isolation. Unfortunately, the growing number of infections also led to an increase in infections in medical facilities and in these risk groups.
