The planned change to the Infection Protection Act also has an impact on sport.

If the seven-day incidence is over 100 on three consecutive days in a district or an urban district, the practice of sport should only be permitted in the form of contactless practice of individual sports.

They should be allowed to be exercised alone, in pairs or with members of the household.

Due to the planned exit restrictions from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., it is also prohibited to jog alone during this time.

There are also exceptions for the competition and training operations of professional athletes and competitive athletes of the national and state squads, but only without spectators.

The regulations of the federal emergency brake had been negotiated under high pressure.

According to the cabinet decision on Tuesday, the law is to be passed by the Bundestag in an accelerated procedure if possible and pass the Bundesrat.

Then there are nationwide uniform rules for corresponding incidence values.

Since the beginning of November it was no longer allowed to play, not even to train.

At the beginning of March, the federal and state governments submitted plans for opening steps, after which contact-free sport in small groups in the open air could be made possible again.

However, these expectations were largely dashed by the rapidly increasing number of new infections and the growing spread of more contagious virus variants.

"Symbolic measures without influence on the infection process"

The sport had hoped for movement in the debate of a gradual opening through an open letter from the Society for Aerosol Research to Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU).

In the letter from Sunday, the GAeF criticizes that "to this day, the essential findings of our research work have not been translated into practical action".

Corona protective masks while jogging, or even wearing the masks outside - aerosol experts believe that should finally be an end.

In a fire letter to politicians, they demand an end to such measures.

"Instead, more symbolic measures such as the requirement to wear a mask when jogging are issued, which do not have any significant impact on the infection process," it said.

Outdoor transmissions are extremely rare.
