The fourth corona wave is rolling over Germany.

This means that the rules are tightened - even in the supermarket.

Which applies to Aldi, Lidl, Edeka, Rewe and Co. from September.

Frankfurt - What wasn't all closed in Germany because of Corona *.

Hairdressers, leisure facilities, shops - but one constant remained.

The supermarkets remained open at all times, albeit under strict conditions.

The last lockdown in Germany was a few months ago, and numerous shops were closed in the spring.

The corona situation then eased and the numbers fell over the summer.

But now, with a view to autumn, the number of infections is rising rapidly again, according to the RKI *.

The fourth wave has reached Germany.

This also threatens new rules in supermarkets for September 2021.

Corona rules in the supermarket: 3G rule under discussion

The 7-day incidence in some regions in Germany is even above the critical value of 100. This means that stricter rules apply depending on the Corona regulation.

Stricter corona measures were even discussed for supermarkets such as Rewe, Lidl, Aldi, Edeka and Co.

The corona rules in the supermarket had already changed in July.

For September, the 3G rule (recovered, vaccinated or tested) for shopping was in the room.

However, the idea was rejected again.

The federal emergency brake, which had provided stricter rules, expired on June 30, 2021.

Now the countries have sovereignty over the corona measures again.

Corona rules in the supermarket: Changes in September in Lower Saxony

In Lower Saxony, for example, the step-by-step plan was initially applied, which was based on the incidence value.

Now, however, the incidence should no longer be used solely as a clue for tightening or relaxing the corona rules.

In addition, the following is considered:

  • the hospitalization rate per 100,000 inhabitants within 7 days

  • the occupancy of intensive care beds in hospitals

If the indicator limits are exceeded, various warning levels come into force in Lower Saxony.

In addition, a mask requirement applies to retailers regardless of the incidence or warning level.

Corona rules in the supermarket: There are long queues in front of Aldi, Lidl, Rewe and Edeka in September

Hessen regulates the whole thing a little differently.

The Hessian concept provides for tightening the corona as soon as regions exceed the incidence value of 35, 50 or 100.

The existing escalation level concept was extended.

The tightening of the corona rules has been in effect since Thursday (08/19/2921) from an incidence of 100 in retail.

What applies from an incidence of 100 in Hesse in retail:

  • With a sales area of ​​less than 800 square meters, 10 square meters are required per customer.

  • With a sales area of ​​800 square meters or more, 20 square meters are required per customer in supermarkets and shops.

In addition, corona rules and restrictions for unvaccinated people are currently under discussion.

This means that there is a risk of queues in front of supermarkets again in autumn.

It could be uncomfortable.
