Berlin.
- The corona virus continues to spread – the federal and state governments are therefore expanding their measures to at least slow the spread of the virus
- After schools and kindergartens, numerous other facilities and shops have to close their doors – with the exception of grocery stores, among others
- There is no curfew for the time being – but would be conceivable
- The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) now assesses the risk posed by the corona virus to the health of the population in Germany as “high”
- German hospitals expect the number of their corona patients to triple by the end of the week: According to estimates, up to 1,500 people would have to be treated in hospitals
The federal government and heads of government of the federal states agreed on Monday to take extensive measures to prevent the spread of the Corona virus to proceed in Germany.
Corona virus: No curfew – if everyone follows the rules
Meanwhile, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) assesses the risk posed by the corona virus to the health of the population in Germany as “high”. So far, the RKI had spoken of a “moderate” threat in Germany. There is currently no curfew like in Spain, France, Italy or Austria.
At least not if everyone adheres to the rules. “If people now stick to what we now ask them to do, that public life is largely restricted except for going to work, then I think we can avoid it,” said the North Rhine Westphalian Minister of Health Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU). And further: “I hope we don’t need it.”
We document which stores and shops have to close – and which don’t.
In a joint announcement they call Heads of government especially these four areas.

Rather, for these areas Sunday sales bans be suspended until further notice. The opening of these facilities is subject to hygiene, control of access and the avoidance of queues.

In Brandenburg, too, the cabinet advises on Tuesday on a legal ordinance that will then apply from Wednesday.
