Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Big celebrations in public places, fireworks, alcohol.

This could be seen in many places at the turn of the year for years.

This year, New Year's Eve will also have to be celebrated differently in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania because of the corona pandemic.

An overview:

CONTACT RESTRICTIONS

The relaxation of contacts from the Christmas holidays has now been lifted.

This means that a maximum of five people from two households can meet again, including on New Year's Eve and New Year's.

Children up to 14 years are not included.

These contact restrictions generally apply to public spaces and also in private apartments.

If the number of corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants exceeds 100 within a week, meetings are only possible with your own household and one other person.

Again, children up to 14 years are not included.

However, this scenario currently seems unlikely.

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN THE STATE

In principle, residents of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania can still move freely within the state as long as they observe the contact restrictions.

TOURISM

Tourist overnight stays in hotels and all other accommodations are still not allowed over New Year's Eve and New Year's.

They can then be accompanied by their spouses, registered partners, partners and stepchildren living in the same household.

FIREWORKS

The ignition of pyrotechnics is prohibited in public places and streets in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

However, category F1 small fireworks are exempt from the ban.
