　　Recently, the rebound of the domestic epidemic in Germany has not diminished.

According to the German "Times Online" report, as of 17:00 local time on the 29th, a total of 289,080 people were diagnosed, 254,225 people were cured, and 9,627 people died in Germany.

In the past seven days (September 22-28) 13,080 cases were newly added.

It is worth noting that this important data used by German officials to observe the severity of the epidemic has not seen a decline for many days.

　　After the German Chancellor Merkel held a video conference with the governors of the states on the same day, the federal government announced the above-mentioned resolution.

　　As many recent cluster infections are caused by private parties such as weddings, the new regulations have tightened restrictions on the number of participants.

Among them, when an average number of newly diagnosed people per 100,000 residents in a county exceeds 35 in the past seven days, only private gatherings of no more than 50 people are allowed in outdoor or rented venues, and gatherings held in private places should not exceed 25 people.

If the above indicators break the red line of 50 people, the number of people in outdoor gatherings should not exceed 25 people, and the number of people in private places should not exceed 10 people. In addition, more epidemic prevention measures need to be taken.

　　The new regulations have added penalties to those who register false personal information during meals on the basis of previous supervision of the mask mandatory order.

These people will face a fine of at least 50 euros.

　　In view of the characteristics of people staying indoors in autumn and winter, the new regulations change the previous "AHA" formula to "AHA+C+L", that is, in addition to maintaining interpersonal distance, washing hands frequently, and wearing masks, download the official new crown. Follow the APP and open windows frequently for ventilation.

　　As the German states have the power to formulate specific anti-epidemic policies, some places with more severe epidemics have added anti-epidemic measures on the basis of the aforementioned new regulations.

A new regulation passed by the Berlin city government that day requires that masks must be worn in the office in the future.

However, this rule only applies when walking around the office, such as sitting at a desk and working without having to wear it all the time.

Currently, Berlin has implemented similar measures in restaurants.
