Schwerin (dpa / mv) - There may be exceptions to the tightened contact restrictions in the corona pandemic in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for children up to the age of twelve.

This applies if it is necessary to care for the children, said Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) on Friday in Schwerin.

Originally, the federal and state governments had agreed that in future a household would only be allowed to meet with one other person, regardless of age.
