All of Hesse shines in light green on the Corona map - except for Frankfurt: Despite an overnight decline, the central incidence indicator remains above the 35 mark. This makes the Main metropolis the only city in Hesse with more than 35 confirmed new infections reported within a week 100,000 inhabitants.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, only seven other cities and districts have higher values ​​in all of Germany.

As a result, not only is the test obligation for indoor catering in Frankfurt still in place, the relatively high incidence also affects public sports.

For example, Eintracht against St.Etienne can only let 5000 fans into the Waldstadion instead of the expected 10,000.

If the index does not fall below the mark 35, then Eintracht's first Bundesliga home game could also take place in front of such a manageable backdrop. This provides for new guidelines that the heads of the state chancelleries agreed on over the weekend. Accordingly, a maximum of 25,000 spectators are only allowed in a stadium if the incidence is below 35. The same applies to comparable major events.
