If the seven-day value of new infections has fallen steadily below 35 by then, the restrictions should be gradually relaxed by the countries.

The hairdressers should be allowed to reopen at the beginning of March, subject to hygiene requirements.
The Saxon government had previously announced that daycare centers and primary schools would be reopened in restricted operations from next Monday.
