Angela Merkel wants the "Lockdown Light" for all of Germany.
Lower Saxony would also be affected by the Chancellor's Corona plans.
The “Lockdown Light” could soon
come
in
Lower Saxony as
well.
Contacts
are expected to be drastically restricted.
Further
corona measures
: restaurants, bars, cinemas, museums and operas are closing.
Lower Saxony / Hanover - A few weeks ago, SPD politician and health expert Karl Lauterbach was still considered a "panic maker" in some circles when he warned that the second
Corona wave was
imminent in Germany.
The
doctor
also warned of a second
lockdown
.
Rightly so, as it turns out in view of the rapidly increasing number of infections.
Because everything indicates that
Lower Saxony is
also
threatened with the closure of public life.
Today, Wednesday, October 28, 2020, from 1 p.m., Angela Merkel will
decide on the upcoming restrictions
with the Prime Minister, including
Lower Saxony's
Stephan Weil.
The whole point: The number of
corona infections
should drop so much by Christmas that "no far-reaching restrictions with regard to personal contacts and economic activity are necessary".
That would inevitably mean: Corona lockdown for Lower Saxony.
Corona lockdown in Lower Saxony: Contacts could be drastically restricted again
Anyone who has enjoyed meeting in groups in the past few months has to get used to it as quickly as possible.
Stays outside the apartment are only allowed with the flatmates or a member of another household.
Violations should be punished severely.

Corona lockdown in Lower Saxony: The culture and restaurant business should be closed
It should also be dark for friends of culture.
Theaters, operas, cinemas and concert halls
are supposed to close.
And that's not all.
All
restaurants, bars and pubs
are to be closed.
After all: food should be delivered and picked up.
Arcades and amusement parks will also have to close.
Fitness studios, sports facilities, swimming pools
and
brothels
as well.
What @michael_huether from @iw_koeln says: "Many business models would not survive a second #lockdown. Have to learn to live with the #virus."

Corona lockdown in Lower Saxony: Tourism should also be restricted
“Citizens are asked to generally refrain from private trips and visits - including from relatives.
This also applies domestically and for day-trip excursions beyond the region, ”recommends the Federal Government.
Otherwise, overnight stays are massively restricted.
Only “necessary and expressly non-tourist” overnight stays are allowed.
Corona in Lower Saxony: This could apply to services, retail and home office
Cosmetic studios, massage practices and tattoo studios
- could be
closed
all over
Lower Saxony
.
According to the plans of a
Lockdown
Light, physiotherapies and
hair salons
are likely to
remain open.
Shops are likely to open under hygiene requirements.
Important condition: You have to make sure that there is no more than one customer per 25 square meters of sales area.
Home office
should be made possible “wherever this can be implemented”.
According to media reports, Ms. #Merkel wants to shut down #Gastronomy completely.
I consider that to be unnecessary and therefore also unconstitutional.
Let's see what's coming today.

In addition, the federal government wants to extend the aid measures for affected companies.
“This applies, for example, to the cultural and event industry.
In addition, the KfW express loan will be opened and adjusted for companies with fewer than ten employees, ”it says.
Corona in Lower Saxony: Lockdown measures still require approval
All
Corona measures
should apply from Wednesday, November 4th, 2020 until the end of November.
However, it is unclear to what extent
Lower Saxony will support
the
lockdown decision
.
Thuringia's Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) had already announced in advance that he would not agree.
And the federal government's plans do not only meet with approval.
Christian Lindner, chairman of the FDP, even considers the closure of restaurants to be unconstitutional.
