Berlin / Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - In Hesse, the seven-day incidence of new corona infections has fallen below the threshold of 100 for the first time in almost two months.

The Berlin Robert Koch Institute registered 535 further infections with the coronavirus within one day (as of Saturday 3.10 a.m.).

This means that the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants (seven-day incidence) in the past seven days is 99.7.

The last time it was below this mark was on March 17th.

The federal emergency brake, with which restrictions automatically apply when the number of infections increases from an incidence value of 100, only applies at the level of the districts and urban districts. In Hesse, 15 of the 26 districts or urban districts were still above the value of 100 on Saturday. If the mark is fallen below on five consecutive working days, the restrictions will be relaxed. A tiered concept of the state of Hesse then applies.

According to a list of the state, the strict corona rules will be relaxed in the districts of Darmstadt-Dieburg, Hochtaunus, Vogelsberg and Wetterau as well as in the city of Darmstadt from Monday (May 17) Exit restrictions lifted, grades 1 to 6 can be taught face-to-face again.

Zoos and museums are allowed to reopen under certain conditions.

Tourism is also possible again; conditions also apply.

Outdoor catering is allowed to open again, guests must present a negative rapid test or proof of complete vaccination protection.
