"Corona emergency brake": It is already taking effect in these cities and districts

display

The Federal Council has cleared the way for the nationwide "emergency brake" to contain the corona pandemic.

The state chamber let the law passed by the Bundestag on Wednesday, including night curfews, pass on Thursday.

Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier still has to issue the amendment to the Infection Protection Act before it can come into force.

This means that uniform rules apply to every district and every independent city in Germany as soon as the number of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants rises over 100 within a week on three days.

These include closings of shops and leisure facilities as well as a night curfew.

According to the law, schools must cease attendance operations if the incidence of seven days is 165 or more.
