Cottbus (dpa / bb) - Because of the increasing number of corona infections in the south of Brandenburg, a second district has decided to take more stringent measures.
As early as this Saturday, further restrictions on public life apply in the Spree-Neisse district, including a ban on alcohol in public, as the district announced on Friday.
Starting next Monday, all schools from the seventh grade onwards will only offer alternating classes.
Inside the school, mouth and nose protection must be worn from the fifth grade onwards.
Teaching at music and art schools is prohibited.
The stricter conditions come into force by general decree.
The seven-day incidence, which indicates the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, is 223.4.
A cross-class outbreak is currently being observed in schools, said District Administrator Harald Altekrüger.
"Even if schoolchildren usually do not suffer serious progress, we have to protect the families and school staff," said the district administrator.
The district is well prepared for the crisis model of alternating lessons.
