Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg is facing tightening of the corona rules for Easter.

The State Chancellery in Potsdam announced that there should be a night-time exit restriction from April 1 to April 6 with a 7-day incidence of 100 or more on three days in a row.

Exceptions for good reason are possible as in winter.

The cabinet agreed on Friday, and the decision is not expected to be made until Tuesday.

EXIT RESTRICTION: It should apply from Maundy Thursday to Tuesday after Easter from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. in the districts and urban districts that have a value of more than 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week.

An emergency brake is already in place there, which means that the easing of March 8th will then have to be reversed.

Then a household can only meet with one other person, shopping with an appointment is taboo.

Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) was not only concerned about the increasing number of infections.

"We have a significantly higher occupancy of the hospitals with Covid patients," said Woidke to the Berlin-Brandenburg broadcasting company.

"We must react.

We are in the middle of the third wave. "

With the exit restriction, contacts in the private area - the main source of infection - should be limited to the lowest possible level.

STRICTER RULES: If the 7-day incidence is significantly above 100 for a longer period, counties and urban districts should take further steps.

In addition, the state government is planning restrictions on the work area.

What that means in concrete terms was initially still open.

The federal and state governments had decided that companies should enable home offices.

If this is not possible, they should make regular test offers to the employees present.

OPENINGS: Brandenburg is planning to relax culture and tourism in a regionally limited manner.

Six model projects are expected to be possible from mid-April.

Potsdam will start shopping on Saturday (March 27) with an appointment and a negative corona test.

Cottbus, Brandenburg / Havel and the Uckermark district also want to apply as a model municipality.

CONTACT TRACKING: An app is planned to track contacts in order to better track the spread of corona infections.

Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) had already announced that the Luca app should be used.

EMERGENCY BRAKE: In more and more districts in Brandenburg, the latest corona easing must be withdrawn due to the increase in the number of infections.

Eight districts and the city of Cottbus with their 7-day incidence are at least three days in a row over 100, according to figures from the Ministry of Health on Friday.

Havelland was added with 138 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week.

This means that the emergency brake applies in Elbe-Elster, Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Oberhavel, Oder-Spree, Teltow-Fläming, Spree-Neisse, Potsdam-Mittelmark, Havelland and Cottbus.

HOSPITALS: They have to keep more beds free again.

As of Monday, at least 20 percent of the actual beds in the normal wards and 30 percent of the beds in intensive care medicine would have to be kept with ventilation option, said the Ministry of Health.

The regulation had been temporarily suspended since February 12.
