In the last 24 hours, 6,638 new cases of infection have been registered in Germany.

New measures

This comes a day after Angela Merkel’s government and the leaders of the 16 states agreed to introduce stricter measures.

There is now a requirement for face masks in all public places and nightclubs must close earlier.

In addition, the number of people who can meet in one place is being reduced.

In areas with 35 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the border will now be 25 people in a public place and 15 people in private, writes Tagesschau.de.

In areas where the number of corona cases is more than 50 per 100,000 inhabitants for seven days, the limit is now set at ten people in public and ten people from two households in private.

Several German cities, including Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich, have had more than 50 infected per 100,000 inhabitants in recent days.

The previous record for new cases in one day is March 28, when 6,294 cases were recorded, according to statistics from the Robert Koch Institute.

Mouthpieces are already mandatory in public transport and in stores since April.

Increase in various places

In recent weeks, there has been a large increase in the number of infected in various parts of Europe and many countries have introduced new and much stricter measures. This comes after many countries reduced travel restrictions and the use of face masks this summer.

Among other things, yesterday a curfew was introduced in France, where those who do not respect the rules risk a fine of 135 euros, just over 1,400 crowns.

In the Czech Republic, they prohibit the sale of alcohol outside the home.

But the measures are not particularly popular. This summer, many people in Germany demonstrated against the many measures that the government had introduced.
