Update from September 1, 6.45 p.m.:

Restrictions on parties and tightening of the

mask requirement

: In view of the increased

corona numbers

*, several federal states are again

taking stricter measures

.

In Brandenburg, there will be an upper limit of 75 people for private celebrations in the home or in the garden.

So far the limit was 1000 visitors.

In Berlin, too, organizers of private parties will soon have to give more thought: From a size of 50 participants, a

hygiene concept

must be

submitted in future.

In addition, the Berlin Senate agreed on Tuesday that a mask is required for demonstrations with more than 100 participants.

In the capital, there had been several

demonstrations against the Corona measures

in the recent past

, in which

distance and hygiene rules were

violated.

However, until now there has not been an obligation to cover the mouth and nose.

In other federal states, the

mask requirement

became an issue on Tuesday: In Saarland, fines for mask refusers have been introduced - they face a fine of up to 100 euros in the future.

In North Rhine-Westphalia, it is compulsory to enter the polling stations with a face-to-face cover in the municipal elections on September 13th.

primary school students

easing movements

corona tests

for travelers from non-risk areas at the

end of the summer holidays

Bavaria wants to stick to its offer of free tests at airports, train stations and highways.

At the moment, the laboratories could “still do quite well,” said Bavaria's Minister of Health,

Melanie Huml,

on Tuesday.
