Potsdam (dpa / bb) - According to Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD), the new federal emergency brake is an important step in the fight against the corona pandemic. "We are in a crucial phase," said Woidke on Thursday in Potsdam. "We must continue to act decisively and consistently and sustainably reduce the number of infected and seriously ill in order to break the third wave." The Federal Council let the regulation pass, which should apply from a seven-day incidence of 100. It could apply almost everywhere in Brandenburg: Except for the districts of Barnim and Ostprignitz-Ruppin, the value on Thursday was over 100 everywhere.
NEW RULES: The cabinet is expected to decide on Friday on the Corona regulation, which will be changed because of the federal emergency brake.
The regulations differ in some points.
In the past week, Woidke had insisted on the possibility of scope for stricter restrictions.
Whether this would happen was initially an open question.
STATE EMERGENCY BRAKE: The state's emergency brake provides stricter rules in counties or urban districts with a seven-day incidence of more than 100 on 3 days in a row.
Shops have to close except for shops for daily needs.
Then there is also an exit restriction between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. with exceptions.
From a value of 200 on 3 days, primary schools and daycare centers also have to close, secondary schools are already in distance learning.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY BRAKE: With the amended Infection Protection Act, an exit restriction between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. should also apply from a value of 100. Jogging and walking alone are allowed. From a seven-day incidence of 100 or more, shopping is still possible with a negative corona test and an appointment; from 150, it should only be possible to pick up ordered goods. For schools, there is a change of lessons above the value of 100. From a seven-day incidence of 165, face-to-face teaching is prohibited in schools and universities.
CITY AND COUNTRY: The state capital Potsdam has failed with the request for an exemption for the state's corona emergency brake. This means that she has to close the shops again after 3 days with a seven-day incidence of over 100 from Friday. Lord Mayor Mike Schubert (SPD) wanted to prevent the city from putting the state's emergency brake into force, but the shops will soon reopen due to changed requirements with the start of the planned federal emergency brake. The Ministry of Health made it unmistakably clear that the regulation “left no room for maneuver”. Schubert spoke of an impression of "Hü und Hott" that he wanted to avoid.
The health department also stated that it would indicate to Brandenburg / Havel that the state's emergency brake would be applied again.
Mayor Steffen Scheller (CDU) announced on Wednesday that after falling below the seven-day incidence on three days, the emergency brake would initially expire, but the city would check whether additional measures were necessary.
There the value was last over 100 on at least 3 days.

ASTRAZENECA: Brandenburg does not consider approval of the corona vaccine from Astrazeneca for all age groups to be sensible, unlike other federal states.
"Astrazeneca has always been in high demand in Brandenburg and we have sent all current stocks to the vaccinating doctor's offices," said the spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior, Martin Burmeister.
All over 60-year-olds could be vaccinated there, around 6,000 first vaccinations per day with the vaccine are given in general practitioners' practices.
The stock is sufficient for this speed.
"It would be populist and dubious to open up Astrazeneca to everyone."
