Easing restrictive measures on Easter like it was on Christmas? The government plans this step to “sweeten” the bitter news about another tightening of restrictive measures due to the increase in the number of infected.
The new draft resolution of the conference of Angela Merkel and the prime ministers of the federal states, along with toughening measures, also includes easing restrictions on Easter.
This means that restrictions on social contacts from April 2-5 will be relaxed. Even in regions where the incidence rate exceeds 100 diseases per 100,000 people per week. On these holidays, you can invite four family members living in another household. Children under 14 years old are not considered.
One of the burning issues is the theme of holidays for Easter. As you know, German tourists en masse decided to go to Mallorca after the island ceased to be a region of risk. The government is ready to think about allowing “leave with a minimum number of contacts”. That is, not in hotels, but in holiday homes.
Lower Saxony Prime Minister Stefan Weil said: “If we allow a holiday during which tourists do not travel long distances and provide themselves with food (without crowding in restaurants) (…), then we will be able to significantly reduce the risk of infection.” Weill opposes travel to Mallorca, without quarantine and mandatory testing upon return.
Germany says this:
Merkel for extending quarantine until April 18
Mass layoffs in tourism and hospitality
Most German residents are in favor of opening hotels and restaurants on Easter
