According to a survey, more than a quarter of Germans doubt the sense of the new Corona restrictions for Advent as well as for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

30 percent of German citizens do not believe in the latest federal-state agreement, as the newspapers of the Funke media group report, citing the survey by the Kantar opinion research institute.

According to the resolutions, private meetings at Christmas should be limited to a maximum of ten people from several households, with the exception of those under 14 years of age.

According to the survey, a similar number of citizens (29 percent) are skeptical about restrictions on private gatherings on New Year's Eve and New Year's.

A clear majority of respondents, on the other hand, consider these pandemic measures to be sensible (70 and 71 percent, respectively), as the study commissioned by the Funke media group shows.

The limit, which has also been decided, to a maximum of five participants from two households for private meetings in the run-up to Christmas is therefore not considered to be effective by 27 percent of Germans.

A majority of 73 percent, however, see this as a sensible decision.

According to the report, there are considerable doubts about the ban on firecrackers.

Almost a third of those surveyed (33 percent) said they saw no point in not having a New Year's Eve fireworks display.

According to the survey, 67 percent express understanding for this requirement.

The greatest skepticism prevails with regard to the benefits of the corona warning app, it continues.

A narrow majority of 51 percent do not consider the digital tool for contagion control to be a suitable means of containing the pandemic.

In contrast, 49 percent of the survey participants see the warning app as useful.

There is widespread approval of the mask requirement.

According to the report, 90 percent said that wearing a mouth and nose cover in shops, public transport and in busy places would help fight the pandemic.

85 percent considered it sensible to avoid unnecessary contacts and to forego professional and private travel in the Corona crisis.

A look at the political camps shows that the skepticism about the new pandemic measures is by far the strongest among supporters of the AfD.

In the electorate of the Union, SPD, Greens, FDP and Left, on the other hand, the measures would largely find very clear approval.

For the representative survey, Kantar interviewed a total of 1011 people between November 25 and 26.
