Stralsund / Binz (dpa / mv) - Stralsund's old town is again filling up with people who love to shop, but in the holiday resorts on Rügen, retailers have to bake small rolls for the time being: Vorpommern-Rügen was the first district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to allow the entire retail trade to open on Friday .
There is no obligation to test, as District Administrator Stefan Kerth (SPD) emphasized.
The background is a seven-day incidence in the circle of stable below 50.
The manager of the Jesske fashion house in Stralsund, Robert Jesske, was relieved at lunchtime. "We are very satisfied, there are a lot of customers and they are happy that things are going again," he reported. However, it should be noted that there are no tourists. For the retailer with an area of 2,000 square meters, it was therefore no problem to get employees out of short-time work at short notice.
Nationwide, retailers will not be allowed to reopen until May 25th after the corona shutdown.
Regions with a stable incidence below 50 may allow shopping before this date.
Stable under 50 means seven days in a row, said Rostock's city spokesman Ulrich Kunze.
In the Hanseatic city, the incidence was below this value for the first time on Thursday.
A decision will be made at the beginning of next week, announced Kunze.
In the district of Northwest Mecklenburg, the seven-day incidence has been below 50 since last Wednesday.

In the holiday resort of Binz on Rügen, Mathias and Doris Rohloff run five luxury boutiques that live mainly from tourists.
They are still open on Friday, as Mathias Rohloff reported.
Locals also went shopping in the shops, but of course there were very few tourists, he said.
The Rohloffs now want to first look at the course of business on Friday and Saturday and then decide how to proceed.
“We don't have high expectations for the time being,” said Mathias Rohloff.
The catering in MV may only open from Whit Sunday (23 May).
Tourists from the country are allowed to vacation in the northeast from June 7th, foreign tourists from June 14th.
"The industry has had to give up tremendously, so I'm happy for everyone who can catch up again on Friday," said Kerth.
Corona tests when shopping can be dispensed with because a lot is now being tested elsewhere.
There are two test offers per week in companies, and there is even a compulsory test in education and care.
“That gives us a good level of security and justifies the fact that we can now take this hurdle back for our retail business,” says Kerth.
