Brandenburg's Minister of Health Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) appeals to the children who move from door to door on Halloween to be considerate, keep their distance and wear a mask if necessary.
“Maybe it even goes with the disguise,” said the minister when asked.
However, children with cold symptoms should refrain from moving from door to door.
Potsdam / Berlin - “Those who prefer not to have contact can put packaged sweets in front of the door.
That should be respected, after all, these are spontaneous visits, which many people are still reluctant to face, ”said Nonnemacher.
In Berlin, the Senate Department referred to the current infection protection ordinance.
According to this, the minimum distance of 1.5 meters to others should also be observed on Halloween bell tours, which are popular with children, as well as hand hygiene rules and the cough and sneeze labels.
A mask should also be worn where necessary.
The American custom of moving around the house has been widespread in Germany for years.
Last year, the professional association of paediatricians recommended that it be canceled due to the corona pandemic.
