Senate – Berlin – Further corona rules in Berlin could be relaxed – Politics

Berlin (dpa / bb) – In view of the falling corona numbers, the Berlin Senate is advising today, Tuesday, about possible further simplifications in everyday life. It is considered likely that further rules will be relaxed. According to a step-by-step plan from mid-May, more could be allowed in sports, culture and leisure, including in retail, gastronomy and the hotel industry and at universities. The plan includes opening steps on June 4th and 18th.

Recently, there were indications that private hotel stays and indoor catering could be allowed again earlier. According to information from the business magazine “Business Insider”, meetings with family and friends could also be made easier from Friday by raising the limits for the number of people and households.

In Berlin, the value of corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, according to the Robert Koch Institute, was 32.6 on Monday, slightly below the national average. That was significantly less than a week earlier, when the so-called seven-day incidence was 56. The Brandenburg state government also wanted to decide on far-reaching steps towards more normalcy on Tuesday.
