  • Germans expect

    many

    changes

    in

    November 2020

    .

  • The

    corona lockdown light

    was decided by the federal government.

  • There are also some innovations in the

    health sector

    .

Munich -

November 2020

brings some changes with it: Due to the

Corona crisis

, the "lockdown light" will come, there will be new specifications for

doctor prescriptions

and

a lot will

happen

in the

German capital

as well

.

We have the most important

changes

in the overview.

Changes in November 2020: The Corona lockdown light is coming and AHAAL is playing an important role

From November 2nd, the new rules to contain the coronavirus will apply: Chancellor

Angela Merkel

calls

the next step in the

corona crisis

"lockdown light"

, which is intended to break the second wave and prevent the uncontrolled spread of the virus.

The

reinforced corona rules

include, among other things, the reduction of public contacts, the closure of restaurants (except for pick-up and delivery) and leisure facilities (including cinemas and fitness studios) as well as the ban on tourist overnight stays.

In addition to the

AHAAL rules

(distance, hygiene, everyday

mask

, app and ventilation), they should be followed by the end of the month.

It's basically very simple.

Changes in November 2020: Are the corona rapid tests coming?

Because the common

PCR tests are

very complex and the laboratories are very busy, the federal government is apparently considering

allowing

corona rapid

tests

in November

.

They are also carried out using the PCR method, but can be evaluated on site without a laboratory.

In contrast to the classic

PCR tests

, the

rapid

tests

should

deliver a result after 15 minutes.

However, there is currently still a lot of controversy among experts as to how reliably a

positive or negative finding should

be assessed - and in which scenarios it would make sense to use it.

Changes in November 2020: Innovations in the health sector concern doctor prescriptions and Nutri-Score

From November 1st,

pharmacists will have

one less task and

doctors

one more:

the doctor now has to enter the

dosage of

a prescription drug in the

prescription

.

The mandatory entry does not affect people with a dosage and medication plan.

The reason for the change in the drug regulation may be the

increased online trade in drugs

.

The

Nutri-Score

is designed to help consumers eat healthily.

"Nutri" - that comes from "Nutrition", the English term for nutrients.

Manufacturers of finished products can

legally use the

nutrient rating logo

from November.

However, this is not a legal requirement, but is based on the

voluntary participation of

the manufacturers.

+

The Nutri-Score comes to Germany: the “greener” the rating, the cheaper the nutritional value of a product.

Changes in November 2020: The capital of Germany scores with the rent cap and BER airport

On

22 November 2020

the second stage of the Berlin rent cap picks:

existing rents

that exceed the new rent limits (incl. Surcharges or discounts) by more than 20 percent, are then forbidden and must be lowered.

At the end of October there was an urgent application against the

second stage of the rent cover,

but this was rejected.

Nine years after the planned opening, the time has come: The

capital airport BER will

open its doors to the public on October 31.

In the course of November 2020, operations will continue to ramp up.

The

Federal Government used

the new Berlin Airport (BER) for a business trip for the first time on October 21.

Changes in November 2020: reminder for car insurance and changes to eID cards

For many car owners, November 30th is the

cut-off date for

changing

insurance

.

The

same applies to

motor vehicle insurance:

the cancellation must be received up to one month before the end of the term.

Since most contracts run until the end of a year, i.e. until the end of December, a change of insurance should be planned in November at the latest.

Otherwise the insurance will be extended by one year - unless there is a special right of termination for the motor insurance.

From November 2nd,

passport and administrative authorities in

Germany

can also

issue

so-called eID cards for

EU citizens

.

It is important that these save you a trip to the consulate or embassy - but do not replace your passport or identity card.

For citizens from other EU countries, the eID card can replace the Post-Ident procedure.

Changes in November 2020: Cyber ​​Week is coming - Singles Day, Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday

Singles Day

starts on November 11th

, during which many retailers significantly reduce their prices.

This is followed by

Black Friday

on November

27th

and

Cyber ​​Monday

on November 30th

.

Due to the

corona pandemic

, there will be

many offers

in

online retail

this year

, as thousands of retailers want to get involved in these offers.

Changes in November 2020: The building energy replacement replaces existing laws

The new

Building Energy Act (GEG) will come

into force

on November 1st

.

It leads the Energy Saving Act (EnEG), the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) and the Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWärmeG).

For house builders, among other things, from November 1st, renewable energies such as solar thermal energy, heat pumps, combined heat and power systems or fuel cell heating as well as district and waste heat must be used.

Brokers and owners must be able to show an

energy

pass when viewing the apartment

.

From 2026 things will get serious: From then on, certain oil and coal heating systems will no longer be allowed to be used.

Changes in November 2020: Tax exemptions for climate-friendly cars

Another new law brings nature and climate protection into focus: The amended Motor Vehicle Tax Act provides that owners of emission-free electric cars and low-emission cars with internal combustion engines pay no or less taxes.

A tax exemption can apply for up to ten years for e-cars and up to five years for cars with combustion engines.

Changes in November 2020: Sky and DHL with important innovations for consumers

After the takeover by the US giant Comcast, it will

initially be expensive

for

existing Sky

customers: Some existing subscription advantages are

no

longer applicable, so that some customers have to dig deeper into their pockets.

This means that there is a special right of termination in which the normal notice periods do not apply.

But be careful: it is only valid until the

end of November 2020.

From

November 15,

DHL wants to bring

more transparency to delivery via app: "Desired neighbor", "Desired storage location" and "Desired day" become "Neighbor", "Storage location" and "Delivery day".
