In numerous federal states,

if the

incidence is 7 days or

more, the range of motion should be limited to 15 kilometers around the place of residence.

is taking a different path here and is freeing the respective municipalities to introduce this step.

A web tool

helps keep the 15-kilometer radius

for your own place of residence

to find out.

As a government spokeswoman explained, they could

better evaluate

the

corona situation

on site and assess the necessity of the

15-kilometer rule

.

In order not to give preference to anyone, the starting point in

Lower Saxony is

not the place of residence, but the address.

Exceptions to the restriction of the range of motion only apply if there is a valid reason, such as work.
