Gütersloh (dpa / lnw) - In North Rhine-Westphalia, Gütersloh, another district, has decided on a nightly exit restriction due to high numbers of corona infections.
This applies from Monday to January 10th from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., the district announced on Sunday.
During this time, the house may only be left for important reasons.
These include, for example, medical or professional needs or the care of animals.
Previously, Oberhausen, the districts of Düren and Lippe and the city of Solingen had already decided on a night-time exit restriction.
There should be no exception over New Year's Eve.
In addition, only two households with a maximum of five people are allowed to meet at private get-togethers.
Children up to 14 years are not counted.
In addition, FFP-2 masks or KN95 masks are now required in institutions for the elderly, asylum seekers' homes, homeless shelters and facilities for the disabled.
The number of new infections reported to the health authorities within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) was 150.6 on Sunday morning on average in NRW.
Gütersloh was 222.8.
However, the Robert Koch Institute pointed out that fewer people usually went to a doctor over the holidays.
As a result, fewer samples would be taken and fewer laboratory tests carried out, which would lead to fewer reports to the health authorities.
On the other hand, it could be that not all health authorities transmit data.
