The Stuttgart Christmas market is to take place despite the increasing number of corona infections and the worsening situation in the clinics. Representatives of the city and the organizers agreed on this in Stuttgart on Thursday. "We faced an extremely difficult decision, we struggled with each other for a long time," said Mayor Frank Nopper (CDU) at a press conference in Stuttgart.
Stuttgart - At the same time, the city is relying on tightened measures such as a 2G-plus regulation for stands with food and drinks for immediate consumption.
Vaccinated and convalescents must also present a test there.
There should be several test stands on the market.
The number of booths is also to be reduced from 280 to around 190 and the stands are to be set up with more spacing from one another, as it was said.
Access to the market is therefore strictly controlled.
According to OB Nopper, holding the Stuttgart Christmas Market in 2021 with these conditions is considered feasible and justifiable.
