The Infection Protection Act in Germany could be changed.

Does a special lockdown apply when the federal emergency brake comes?

An overview.

Munich / Berlin - After weeks of hacking, the federal cabinet agreed on Tuesday to change the Infection Protection Act.

The draft for the Corona * emergency brake provides for nationwide rules and strict contact restrictions * as soon as more than 100 new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants are registered within seven days in a district or an independent city.

In view of the "worrying development", Bavaria extended its corona measures until May 9th.

If the federal emergency brake, the Bundestag and Bundesrat still have to agree to become valid beforehand, the regulations will be adjusted, it said yesterday.

Corona in Germany: the next lockdown is coming - the most important points about the federal emergency brake:

Incidence limit:

Where the 7-day incidence * exceeds the 100 limit on three consecutive days, stricter measures should apply from the day after the next.

And so until the 7-day incidence falls below the 100 threshold on five consecutive days.

swimming pools, saunas, discos, brothels, wellness centers or excursion boats must close.

Shops:

Shops with customer contact have to close.

Exceptions (among others): grocery stores, pharmacies, medical supply stores, drug stores, opticians, hearing aid acousticians, gas stations, newspaper sellers, bookstores, flower shops, animal and garden markets - in compliance with hygiene rules.

Culture and zoos:

Theaters, operas, music clubs, cinemas (except drive-in theaters), museums, zoological and botanical gardens etc. must close.

Hairdressers are also allowed to open (for customers with a negative corona test).
