Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - The Ministry of Economic Affairs in Saxony-Anhalt has provisionally approved the first model projects for openings in restaurants and hotels during the corona pandemic.
The ministry announced on Saturday evening.
The applications were made by the Harz and Mansfeld-Südharz districts.
Accordingly, outdoor restaurants in Ballenstedt, Blankenburg, Falkenstein, Harzgerode, Ilsenburg, Oberharz, Quedlinburg, Thale and Wernigerode could be open until 9 p.m. despite the state's Corona measures.
According to the Ministry, the planned start of the project in the Harz Mountains is April 9, the trial is limited to April 30.
According to the ministry, the application by the district of Mansfeld-Südharz provides for the opening of two hotels between April 16 and May 14.
The condition is that the seven-day incidence of 200 new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the past seven days at the respective starting time of the projects is not exceeded.
«These are not reckless, uncontrolled opening steps;
it is rather the consistent implementation of the demand to live with the virus as long as there is no nationwide vaccination protection, ”said Minister of Economic Affairs Armin Willingmann (SPD).
If model projects were successful, they could serve as a model for further opening up steps in Saxony-Anhalt.

The state government had enabled openings as part of model projects in the new state corona ordinance.
On the one hand, the cabinet hopes that this will provide information on pandemic-proof security and event concepts, and on the other hand, it wants to prevent illegal openings.
One condition for the opening attempts is, for example, the electronic traceability of the contacts, which Saxony-Anhalt wants to guarantee via the Luca app.
