Bavaria's Minister of Health, Klaus Holetschek (CSU), has called on nursing homes and their relatives to actively use the newly created opportunities to visit on Mother's Day.

Mother's Day in particular reminds us how important contacts are.

That is why I appeal to the institutions to enable more communal experiences again in compliance with the AHA-L protection rules ”, Holetschek is quoted in a communication from his ministry.

The rules relate to keeping your distance, observing hygiene, wearing a mask in everyday life and airing regularly.

“The task now is to find steps back to normal.

There are no longer any restrictions on visits - and social life in the facilities is also possible again, ”said Holetschek.

This applies, for example, to group offers, religious gatherings and visits to the cafeteria.

The home residents are a particularly vulnerable group in the population throughout the course of the pandemic.

The success of the vaccination program is gratifying.

On May 3 of this year, 394 residents of old people's and nursing homes had tested positive.

For comparison: on January 5th there were 6949.

Summer weather on mothers day

According to the weather service (DWD), it can be up to 30 degrees warm in Germany on Mother's Day on Sunday.

The highest temperatures are announced for the Upper Rhine.

For example, it was still snowing in Potsdam and Berlin on Friday.

According to the DWD in Potsdam, this is not a consequence of climate change, but a normal weather phenomenon: A low moving eastward brings very humid and cold air with it.

Even in the Black Forest and the Harz it was wintry again.

The contrast program on Sunday is provided by air moving from Spain and North Africa to Germany.

In the north and northwest it is also cloudy on Sunday, there it can be thunderstorm in the evening.

In the rest of the republic it is sunny and dry with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees - which is likely to result in a large run on the recreational regions.
