Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has been in a shutdown again since Monday morning in order to reduce the high number of new corona infections every day.

Schools, daycare centers, museums, libraries and most shops are closed again.

Hairdressers, hardware stores, flower shops and bookstores are allowed to stay open, as can grocery stores, banks, drugstores and pharmacies.

Private meetings are only allowed to take place with one person other than your own household.

Second home owners and long-term campers from outside the state are not allowed to come to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Day trips to the northeast were previously banned.

The ordinance will initially apply for four weeks.

If the number of infections falls below the seven-day incidence of 100, the daycare centers and schools should first be gradually reopened.

On Sunday the incidence was 150.2.

The highest value so far was reached on Thursday at around 158.
