The federal and state governments will discuss further measures against the corona pandemic on Wednesday.
Initial information on this has been leaked.
Will travel be allowed again soon?
In winter, many Germans usually look forward to their skiing holiday in the mountains or enjoy a few relaxing days in wellness hotels.
Due to the corona pandemic, the situation is currently very different: Tourist accommodation offers have been banned since November 2nd and private trips or day trips are not recommended *.
This regulation should initially apply until the end of the month.
On November
25, the
federal and state governments will discuss the effects of the measures so far and whether an extension will be necessary.
A first “draft resolution” provides information on this.
Holiday ban in Germany extended until December?
What will be decided today
The editorial network Germany reports a draft decision of the SPD - said to be very similar to the Union - in which a
prolongation of the State aid for affected businesses in the economy, culture, travel industry and for solo self-employed until 20 December
speech is.
It can therefore be assumed that the previous regulations regarding domestic tourism will not change by this deadline.
Means:
Hotels, vacation rentals and ski areas remain closed and private trips should be avoided
.
The final decision is expected to be announced this afternoon.
In addition, the contact restrictions are also to be tightened.
Instead of ten people from two households, only five people from two households will be allowed to meet.
Children under the age of 14 are an exception.
In addition, a relaxation should be planned between December 23 and January 1, so that up to ten people can meet during the Christmas holidays.

Holidays over Christmas: Are hotels allowed to open on public holidays?
Many of the measures are initially planned until December 20 - for some, however, the parties would like to see a settlement until January.
At least at Christmas, CDU-led countries want to
relax hotel stays,
according to
Bild
: In order to avoid too many people from different households romping under one roof, they propose
to let hotels open at Christmas
.
So celebrations with the family in one room would be possible without having to share rooms afterwards.
It is unlikely that citizens can go on vacation normally over Christmas.
Although it seems that the hotel and restaurant measures will initially only be extended until December 20, any easing soon after this date is unlikely.
Italy's government is even calling for the ski areas across Europe to be closed - until January.
