Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - New Year's Eve under Corona conditions began quietly in Hesse.

Police prepared nationwide for controls on Thursday.

One is there and prepared, it said from the Hessian police headquarters, where no special incidents were registered until early evening.

On New Year's Eve it is usually quiet until around midnight, said a police spokesman in Wiesbaden.

Now you have to see how things go under Corona conditions.

In view of the restrictions to contain the pandemic, the turn of the year was calmer than usual.

Joint celebrations on streets or squares are prohibited, alcohol is not allowed to be drunk in public.

New Years Eve parties are not allowed.

In many places, fireworks are not allowed to be set off - the sale of firecrackers or rockets was generally prohibited this year.

The police had announced that they would be present and check compliance with the corona rules with controls.

In some places the officials also take a look at whether the night exit restrictions are being observed.

Where these apply, you are not allowed to leave your home between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. without a valid reason.
