After an unexpectedly high number of visitors in Düsseldorf's old town on Saturday and Sunday, the state capital is planning significant restrictions for the coming weekend.
The mask requirement is to be expanded in the old town.
In the area of application of the mask requirement, there should also be a so-called no-stay ban, as Christian Zaum announced.
It should then no longer be allowed to sit down for a picnic or eat an ice cream.
The visitors have to move, so Zaum.
A flight of stairs that is heavily frequented at the weekend should remain closed until further notice.
The city also wants to restrict car access.
Zaum stated the number of administrative offenses identified last weekend as “well over 300”.
The city wants to put the stricter rules into effect via a general decree.
The Ministry of Health has already agreed, according to Zaum.
According to Zaums, the city wants to prevent stricter measures such as access restrictions or alcohol sales bans with the new regulations.
