In view of the tense Corona situation, the Düsseldorf Carneval Committee recommends that its members postpone all planned hall events in November.
Düsseldorf - Because of the fourth Corona wave, the carnival clubs in the stronghold of Düsseldorf should completely forego hall events in November.
The Düsseldorf Carneval Committee made a corresponding recommendation on Sunday to its 70 member clubs in the city.
Scheduled indoor meetings should be postponed to a later date in the session.
The free choice of the Düsseldorf prince couple with 1000 expected visitors, which is planned for next Friday (November 19th), is not to take place until the beginning of January.
“The decision was not an easy one for us,” said Committee President Michael Lrecken.
In view of the increasing number of infections and the increasing burden on the health system, they see no other option.
Lord Mayor Stephan Keller (CDU) hoped that there would be a different starting point for hall events by January through booster vaccinations and the reintroduction of the free corona tests.
