Munich / Tübingen - The new Corona rules are tough again.
The retail sector is badly affected by this.
Depending on the 7-day incidence, this may be open throughout Germany due to Covid-19 with strict AHA rules, after making an appointment via "Click & Meet" or not at all.
Therefore, from March 8th, a real district hopping between the regions and cities began, albeit not as drastically as the critics of the measures feared.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: Corona visa for shopping tourists in Tübingen
One city goes one step further in this mixed situation: the Swabian town of Tübingen.
With the polarizing Lord Mayor Boris Palmer (The Greens) at the helm, the medium-sized town (around 85,000 inhabitants) in Baden-Württemberg is daring the next special corona route.
Lockdown: Corona rules in retail until March 28th:
7-day incidence below 50: Retail is allowed to open.
But: Depending on the sales area, only one customer is allowed into the shop or the shop per ten or 20 square meters.
7-day incidence between 50 and 100: The retail trade may receive individual customers after booking an appointment - also known as “Click & Meet”.
7-day incidence over 100: Retail must remain closed in the relevant county or city.
Because: Anyone who comes to Tübingen from another district to shop must have a negative corona rapid test, which is also specially certified.
“Only the official one-day certificate from the university city of Tübingen, which is issued at the test stations, is valid,” said the city, according to the
SWR
.
Corona lockdown in Germany: incidence jumble ensures different openings in retail
The quick test for a possible infection with the insidious corona virus must therefore be done at one of the city's test stations, which are in operation between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.
So you can't just bring a test result with you.
According to a spokeswoman for the city, anyone who does not adhere to it must expect a penalty.
With its university and the associated clinics, Tübingen not only has comparatively large medical resources for its project.
Due to its focus on the testing and protection of corona risk groups, the medium-sized town in the heart of Baden-Württemberg has also been considered exemplary throughout Germany for containing the pandemic for months.
According to the State Health Office, the Tübingen district had a 7-day incidence of only 27.1 on Monday (March 8).
“We do not want to give up this success lightly,” wrote OB Palmer on his
page: “If in other circles the trade continues because the numbers are too high, I think it is only right and cheap to have a free test before the To request shopping directly in the city. "
