Children and the Corona rules: From this weekend - depending on the federal state - new rules for children apply.
Small children in particular have a major disadvantage.
Munich - During the
pandemic
, children had to
learn that you shouldn't just hug grandma and grandpa.
You have learned when to put on a
mask
and when to take it off again, how to keep your distance from classmates and - at best - how to wash your hands properly.
The fact that it is better not to meet friends overnight, not in large groups and usually outside, is now part of everyday life.
Now the little ones have to rethink their way of thinking: According to a general decision of the federal-state summit, they will soon only be able to meet their friends without parents.
Because: Each citizen is only allowed
one contact person
, exceptions for children are
no longer
applicable.
If you are too young to meet friends alone, you will go back to the
spring lockdown
.
And that's not always easy to explain.
Lockdown rules for children in the federal states: Saxony, Bremen, Baden-Württemberg and Co with special rules
Saxony
,
Bremen
and
Baden-Württemberg
are now moving away from the new rule: Children do not count towards the maximum number of people.
For example, this allows two mothers to meet up with their young children again.
In Berlin, the following applies: children of single parents are exempted from the rule, in
North Rhine-Westphalia
“children to be looked after” do not pay into the
contact
restrictions
, in Bavaria all children under three years of age.
Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are paying particular attention to the childcare situation: families are allowed to form communities with one other family each.
Both exceptions were obviously not easy for the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg.
"That is very daring," said
Winfried Kretschmann (Greens)
.
Baden-Württemberg can do everything, except lockdown.
There is no 15 km rule, children up to 14 years of age are exempt from the contact restrictions, schools and daycare centers should from January 18.
open (depends on the number of infections).

Schleswig-Holstein
and
Saarland
make
an exception
for the
care
of relatives in need of care.
This means that, for example, father and daughter can visit a bedridden grandma together there.
In Lower Saxony there are special rules for people with disabilities and children with separated parents.
Exceptions to the lockdown rules: special route also for the 15-kilometer rule
It will also be exciting for children in Bremen: Here compulsory schooling is suspended - the parents decide who goes to school.
Those who cannot look after children at home should be
able to send everyone up to the 6th grade to the schools and daycare centers that
remain open in
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
.
The graduating classes should also be able to go to school again from Monday.
The 15-kilometer radius for districts with
incidence values *
over 200
was also much discussed
. Baden-Württemberg ignores this: There should be no corresponding rule.
North Rhine-Westphalia
and
Lower Saxony
want local authorities to
decide, Thuringia only
want to
give a corresponding recommendation.
The night exit restrictions no longer apply in
Brandenburg
, for example
.
And then there is another important difference between the individual countries: The new regulations will come into force in
Hamburg
from Friday, in Berlin, Lower Saxony and Thuringia from Sunday.
Everyone else is expected to follow suit on Monday.
