In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, those returning from German corona high-risk areas have to be put into forced quarantine.
The only exceptions are people who have visited immediate family members in other federal states.
Anyone who has been to distant relatives or friends, however, has to be in isolation for ten days, which can only be shortened to five days by two negative tests.
The state government decided on Friday in another special Corona meeting.
With this regulation, which is endorsed by Prime Minister Manuela Schwerin (SPD), but also reportedly controversial in the SPD / CDU coalition, an increased introduction of the corona virus is to be prevented.
According to the regulation, regions with more than 200 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days are considered high-risk areas.
The regulation, with which Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is again taking a separate path, had previously met with massive criticism.
The country's Ombudsman, Matthias Crone, classified such unequal treatment as legally questionable.
In addition, the freedom of movement is restricted more than usual in Germany without the infection situation in the country being worse, argued Crone.
