In the coming season, carnival jesters in Baden-Württemberg can celebrate the fifth season again.
The Ministry of Social Affairs announced on Friday that events with a hygiene concept should be possible both indoors and on the street.
Those who have been vaccinated or recovered are allowed to celebrate in the hall.
A working group is to develop concepts for outdoor events.
Stuttgart - Fools could, for example, wear masks on street parades and keep their distance.
"We all burn for carnival and carnival - this tradition can only survive if the people in the country are also allowed to live it," emphasized Rohland Wehrle, President of the Association of Swabian-Alemannic Fools' Guilds.
"Above all, with the firm confirmation of the hall events, we can now begin concrete planning." Dpa
